Is it possible, or has there been any discussion about adding a Portal: namespace, like Wikipedia has? The L5R Wiki has been starting to set up portals, but all of the associated articles are starting to clutter the main namespace a bit. A lot of Random Page hits are coming back with quotes and trivia, which I'd kind of like to change. ~WestonWyse ^! 05:41, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

It is possible yes. The only global custom namespace is "Forum" currently, (there have been very few requests for Portal). You can request new namespaces here (show us some community consensus or discussion about it, or the founder requesting it, or bribe us ^_^). --Splarka (talk) 06:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

The founder doth hereby request it. Plus, my wife makes pretty good cookies. Seriously, though, we already have over 200 "Portal:" articles in the main namespace, so I really think we need it at this point. ~WestonWyse ^! 20:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Those 200 articles are a problem... the potential namespace needs to be empty for Angela to create the it. So everything named Portal:_ needs to be moved and the redirects deleted. Then they can be moved back once the namespace has been created. Quite a job I'm afraid, but if you can get a few people together to help, it shouldn't be too bad -- sannse (talk) 08:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Ah. Yes, I can see where that could be a problem. OK, we'll get on it, and I'll be back... soon, I hope. ~WestonWyse ^! 15:28, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, we've backed up and deleted all of the "Portal:" articles in the main namespace. If we could have an actual Portal namespace added now, we would appreciate it. Thank you. ~WestonWyse ^! 01:37, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm adding that now. Angela ^talk 03:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Wonderful. We appreciate it immensely. Thank you. ~WestonWyse ^! 12:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
