Thank you.
Just out of curiosity, why would a Chinese project use English names for its namespaces?
Because it's more convenient to input.

It seems that zh.wp has change the namespace from en to zh auto.
(In reply to comment #1) > Just out of curiosity, why would a Chinese project use English names for its > namespaces? because chinese have variants, and it's unfair to use a certain variant in namespace names. and there're some kind of codes to display chinese namespace with the variant set in preferences or in the browser.
Yes, I understand that; I asked that question mostly because you (the group behind the new project) have apparently managed to reach an agreement on the name of the project (维基导游) but not on the project namespace name, which striked me as a bit weird. If you want to continue with the English names for the namespaces, I can submit a patch later today (evening UTC time).

Couldn't there be aliases to namespaces? It seems possible as english names for namespaces also work, and redirect to the translated name of the namespace. (I understand that there are [[translatewiki:]] messages used for names of namespaces.)

In Chinese wikipedia,chinese names for namespaces also work, and redirect to the english name of the namespace.

(In reply to comment #15) > "Normally, submitted bugs for wiki creations are done in groups and devs like > to make them in one motion, normally not one at a time." There are no other wikis waiting to be created.
can it be created individually?
(In reply to comment #18) > can it be created individually? It can, but its prefered to create them in batches.
