The Project and Project talk namespaces are canonical. You can't remove them, you can only rename them. For some reason, the default is Wikipedia/Wikipedia talk for new Wikimedia wikis

Your options are renaming to Outreach/Outreach talk or Wikimedia/Wikimedia talk. Please adjust the bug summary once you've decided.

Don't you run a wiki? :-)  You need to edit the target at [[MediaWiki:Aboutpage]] and the link text at [[MediaWiki:Aboutsite]]. Or something like that. Any local administrator can edit the MediaWiki pages.

Ah, OK. I moved the "About" text to a more logical place, thanks.

You're saying that there has to be some kind of "Project" namespace, even if we don't use it? I suppose "Wikimedia" is probably ideal, then. I doubt we will ever use it, but it makes a lot more sense than "Wikipedia."

Thanks for your help.

Yes, it has to always be there. I've renamed it to Wikimedia.
