See https://www.mail-archive.com/wikisource-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg01935.html, bug 43934 comment 3, [[m:Requests for comment/Standardize ProofreadPage namespaces across Wikisources]].
The list of non-standard namespaces for Extension:ProofreadPage is given in <https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/InitialiseSettings.php.txt> in the array `$wgProofreadPageNamespaceIds'.
This is not that simple because we'll have to update the templates and scripts etc across the wikis as well.
Change 169779 had a related patch set uploaded by Reedy: Set a default for wgProofreadPageNamespaceIds https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/169779
Change 169779 merged by jenkins-bot: Set a default for wgProofreadPageNamespaceIds https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/169779
(In reply to Gerrit Notification Bot from comment #3) > Change 169779 had a related patch set uploaded by Reedy: > Set a default for wgProofreadPageNamespaceIds > > https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/169779 I'm not sure if 104/106 are the values that we "want" to use, but that is what most sites are using. To that extent, I just made/extracted a default value for these, and removed the "duplicates". This makes the config clearer, and more obvious to see the anomalies..
In this consultation, I note: - the lack of strong support of Tpt, current current maintainer of Proofreadpage - the very weak support of the proposal (but yes, it's a current recurring issue these last years) - the need to take in account the charge in the databases I consulted reedy on #mediawiki on the matter (who then created the patch noted in comment #3). Reedy considers "they're gonna be indexed updates, so it's a case of doing it as batched queries, waiting for slaves" and to not "see any obvious reason straight off why it shouldn't be doable". As a next course of action, they suggests to count the number of affected pages, and to "come up with a rough plan of action". Tpt knows of course well the issue to have play with this idea sometimes these previous years, so they is a good candidate for that. [Taking back as NEW, the patch were only the first step to make the situation more clear in the configuration]
I support the project to move namespace ids for Page/Index namespaces to 250/252 that are the ones reserved by ProofreadPage extension. I'll be happy to help system admins in order to see if the migration if feasible on their side.
