Forum:RuneScapeWiki: vs RuneScape:

K, over at the RuneScape Wiki, RuneScapeWiki: things have been switched with RuneScape:. This should not have happened. For example, RuneScapeWiki:About is now RuneScape:About, whereas it should be RuneScapeWiki:About, as it's a wiki thing. All RuneScapeWiki: pages are now RuneScape: pages, and I was wondering, is this really correct? I don't think so. Is it right to have RuneScapeWiki: or RuneScape:?24.109.206.88 21:37, 9 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It vaires how people have this namespace, either way is valim. If it's changed recently, it must have been by request.  I don't recall seeing a request for that, but it could easily have gone via another staff memeber.  The best this to do is to ask the RuneScape Wiki admins, one of them should be able to tell you more.  -- sannse (talk) 11:47, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I am an admin there. RuneScape should not be the namespace, but the other admins say it's right. However, updates done to the game have the RuneScape: namespace. Now, let's look at the other wikis...
 * Psychology Wiki:About
 * LOTR:About
 * Wiki 24:About
 * AboutRedwallWiki (different, but it still has the wiki name in it)
 * LOST Wiki:About
 * RC Wiki:About
 * Muppet Wiki (different, but it still has the wiki name in it)

And then, there's the RuneScape wiki.
 * RuneScape:About

It's not about the game. It's about what the wiki is. If I change it, another admin changes it back, but clearly it's wrong. Only updates to RuneScape have the RuneScape: namespace.--Richard 15:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I think where pages WERE "RuneScapeWiki:xxxx", that was not actually a namespace as such, so the whole thing was a page name in the article space. If the project namespace can be altered (rather than wasting one of the 3 custom ones, possible use still being debated, then that will re-ignite the discussion which kind of finished with "not worth wasting a custom namespace on it". As far as I can tell, the issue was more along the lines of "RuneScape:" is what the project namespace is called, so using "RuneScapeWiki:" was incorrect. Guess this needs to be resolved in the project forums, with a request for a namespace change if that IS an option and is preferred. Ace of Risk 21:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
