Please remove the namespace "Anexo" (102, 103) from Portuguese Wikipedia, consensus: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Esplanada/propostas/Elimina%C3%A7%C3%A3o_do_dom%C3%ADnio_Anexo_%2826abr2014%29 A bot has already moved almost all pages to main namespace.
Please complete the task now, then raise the priority from low to normal. If we would apply the change now, you wouldn't be able to manipulate them easily after, and we would have to run a maintenance script.
Change 172012 had a related patch set uploaded by Dereckson: Remove Anexo namespace on pt.wikipedia https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/172012
The bot won't move the other pages, the bot have moved 14000+ pages, and it left 30 pages to move manually. The remove of the namespace will not affect our job (we will be able to access the pages by [Special:PrefixIndex/Anexo:]).
The issue is page names don't start by Anexo:, but start by their respective names, excluding the namespace prefix. Move them by hand, then notify us it has been done.
If you look on the two following namespaces, they are FAR than empty. Talk pages still present, a lot of redirections, still the page content you hinted about. * https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=&to=&namespace=102 * https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AllPages&from=&to=&namespace=103
Most of them seems to be redirects, which should be kept working (i.e. not be deleted), per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_delete_redirects Won't this require the maintenance script to be executed anyway?
In the initial request, the redirects would never work and disappear. When we're in the namespace Foo, the page Bar is identified by the URL "Foo:Bar" but has "Bar" as title, not "Foo:Bar". Helder would like we keep the redirects, this is a good idea, especially to respect W3C recommandation Hypertext Style: Cool URIs don't change. To do that, we have two solutions. I. To run a maintenance script to move (ns 102) Quux to (ns 0) Annexo:Quux. II. - To socially enforce or technically with AbuseFilter the rule "don't create any new page in Annexo: namespace" - To let the namespace technically there to allows these redirects to operate and regroup them. I don't see any argument in the favour to the first solution, as the namespace is still useful to regroup the redirections and doesn't provide real benefits.
(In reply to Dereckson from comment #7) > II. - To socially enforce or technically with AbuseFilter the rule "don't > create any new page in Annexo: namespace" This is already done: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/129 The "Anexo" namespace should still be removed so that it doesn't appear in places like * https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AllPages/Anexo: * https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contribs * Client-side variables such as wgNamespaceIds and wgFormattedNamespaces * etc A page such as https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anexo:Biografias is currently in the namespace 102, and contains a cross-namespace redirect #REDIRECIONAMENTO [[Lista de listas de biografias por ordem alfabética]] so that a user accessing the URL gets to the page https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_de_listas_de_biografias_por_ordem_alfab%C3%A9tica After the requested changes, "Anexo:Biografias" should just be a page in the main namespace redirecting to another page in the same namespace (which just happen to have as prefix the string which used to be the name of a namespace). This is why we need option I.
I don't like that. Are you sure there is a real consensus to flood the main namespace with 30K redirections?
Yes, that has been discussed and the consensus is to keep all redirections.
