- Go into the wmf-deployment directory:
cd /home/wikipedia/common/wmf-deployment/
- Edit InitialiseSettings.php
vim wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php
- Inside the file, find the section variable called wgExtraNamespaces.
- Scroll down in the file and find the existing section for the project you are adding namespaces to
- If it doesn't list in that section, create a new entry for it
- NOTE: You have to replace spaces with underscores in the new namespace name and add a corresponding talk namespace, or things will break
- Update the file to list off the namespaces you are adding & save your changes
- Try to keep the namespace numbers in some sort of order (IE: Portal is often 100.)
- Once you have exited the now updated file, you need to push it live to the cluster:
sync-file wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php <one line summary of change and reason>
- Now you MUST run the following script to clean up any pages that are using the new namespace in the title before it existed:
php maintenance/namespaceDupes.php --wiki=<wikidbname> --fix
- This will fix all the broken names due to the new namespace.
- If the script lists any unresolved names, run it again with --suffix=/BROKEN or something similar, and report the output on the Bugzilla bug
