Forum:Changing Project Namespace on a new wiki

I'm a new admin on a new wikia wiki and I'd like to change the naming convention of the "project namespace", aka where all of the pages that start with the project prefix such as "World of Warcraft Wiki:Administrators" or something along that line. Mainly, the objective here is to "simplify" this article name to something like "WoW:Administrators". No I'm not just looking for redirects or "shortcuts" to those links, but actually changing the namespace characters to something different... decided upon of course by the community and term that is appropriate to the topic of the wiki.

I thought there were some "variables" that would allow you to change this in Special:AllMessages, but I can't seem to find them. Is this something that must be done by Wikia (or the operator of the physical server and not with mere sysop/admin privileges) or can I get this done in some other way? --Robert Horning 22:02, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * You can ask staff to change the name of the project namespace by using the Special:Contact form on the Wiki where you would like the namespace changed.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 22:27, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks! I was hoping there was an easier way to get it done, as it used to be something an administrator could do... at least in the past.  As with all things, MediaWiki software changes, and that I can understand.  --Robert Horning 22:34, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
