Forum:How do you set up a non-content namespace?

I was told by wikia staff that do achieve what i am trying to do on a wiki, I should move the main page to a non-content namespace, like Portal:Main with Portal being set up on the wiki as a non-content namespace. How do I set Portal as a non-content namespace?--Soul reaper 05:43, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * You request custom namespaces through Special:Contact. However, to keep the article structure clean and transparent the main page should be in the main namespace. Also, if you decide to move the main page, don't forget about modifying MediaWiki:Mainpage. — Sovq 06:30, October 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Moving the Main Page automatically changes MediaWiki:Mainpage. At least it always does on Ben 10 Fan Fiction.

 * The message from wikia said "move the page to a non-content namespace, like Portal:Main with Portal being set up on your wiki as a non-content namespace." When I asked for further information for doing so i never got a response.--Soul reaper 09:13, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Out of curiosity, why do you want to move the mainpage in a different namespace? What do you gains with it?


 * On the wiki I'm doing this for we recently redesigned the main page. The new design works much better without the ad that appears at the right hand side of the page. While investigating how to get around this, I found that some wikis don't have the right siderail bar ad enabled, which means it is possible to get rid of it, in theory. When I sent a message through Special:Contact, Wikia replied saying "move the page to a non-content namespace, like Portal:Main with Portal being set up on your wiki as a non-content namespace." When I asked for more info I never got a response.--Soul reaper 04:52, October 10, 2011 (UTC)
