<center>''For information on custom namespaces on the Meta-Wiki, see [[Meta:Namespaces]].''</center>

If you want to add a [[Help:Namespace#Custom_namespaces|custom namespace]], you need to do the following:

#Pick the names of your namespace and its talk page. Also pick numbers.

:''Note: Even numbers are for the main namespaces, odds for the talk pages. Custom pages start at 100.'' (''Important: Do not include spaces in the name, use an underscore instead'')

#Goto /includes/DefaultSettings.php and copy the variables <var>$wgExtraNamespaces</var>, <var>$wgNamespacesWithSubpages</var>, and <var>$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault</var> into LocalSettings.php

#:'''If $wgExtraNamespaces is not in DefaultSettings.php, you probably have an old version of MediaWiki (1.3.2 or older). You should upgrade to the [http://www.mediawiki.org/ current release], as there have been both bug fixes and some security fixes since then.'''

#Add to <var>$wgExtraNamespaces</var> the name of your namespace and its talk page, as it would appear in a link.

#*:Example:

$wgExtraNamespaces =

array(100 => "Foo",

101 => "Foo_Talk");

#If you want [[sub pages]], add it to <var>$wgNamespacesWithSubpages</var>

#*:Example:

$wgNamespacesWithSubpages =

array( -1 => 0, 0 => 0, 1 => 1, 2 => 1, 3 => 1,

4 => 0, 5 => 1, 6 => 0, 7 => 1,

8 => 0, 9 => 1, 10 => 0,11 => 1,

'''100 => 1, 101 => 1''' );

#If you want the new namespace (or its talk page) searched by default, set <var>$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault</var>

#*:Example:

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault =

array( -1 => 0, 0 => 1, 1 => 0, 2 => 0, 3 => 0,

4 => 0, 5 => 0, 6 => 0, 7 => 0,

8 => 0, 9 => 1, 10 => 0, 11 => 1,

'''100 => 1, 101 => 1''' );

Note:

* (Wiki 1.5) Per example in ''includes/DefaultSettings.php'':

** (Also see w:NameSpaces for complete detailed list)

/** Which namespaces should support subpages?

* See Language.php for a list of namespaces.

* Make any customized lists in ''LocalSettings.php''.
