Here are the namespace value and content (with notes or questions). In short, it's historic (from merges):

  • DE and EN wikis are close.
  • FR is very different.
  • Forge comes from an other wiki (most pages are in FR, EN, DE: but EN is now the "official" one).
  • And common (host files for all wikis) is very different from others (close to EN).

Names spaces (ns)

Ex of namespaces: Category:, Talk:, User:

To discover them, it seems Heernis used the code {{Special:AllPages|namespace=1}}, adding +1 until reach 105 (event talk). But there's an API tips who show all ns w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces with the canonical names - for ex:

Common to all

Each ns has it's own talk/Discussion ns,with ns+1. To be brief, no talk here (see more detailed pages) BUT un-usual.

Commons to all:

  • There's some negative values (for the all 6 wikis): -2 Media and -1 special
  • Namespace 0 - Main
  • Namespace 2 - User (in fr, or Utilisateur or Utilisatrices)
  • Namespace 6 - File - Fichier (but now, all files will be uploaded in the common but FR have some in there + on SP it's called Archives)
  • Namespace 8 - MediaWiki used to hold system messages and other important content
  • Namespace 10 - Template
  • Namespace 12 - Help
  • Namespace 14 - Category - Catégorie

The atys/common has no ns after 15. The other 5 wikis have the common following ns:

  • 100 - Guild
  • 104 Events
  • 106 Portal


The advance Search show some ns too. Here are images, to compare:

About the Help pages

With the the wikis merge, we have now a lot of pages about the help on wikis... Lot of them are obsoletes and contradictory, and use different namespaces but can use the category:Help to to bring them together.

users

Users are common. Only the profiles are on 1 (or more) wikis. Each wiki has its DB.

categories


Wiki codes about categories

  • For tree in French wiki : fr:Utilisatrice:Craftjenn/ArboCaté
  • on common, Heernis used <categorytree mode="all" depth="20" showcount"on" hideprefix="never">Wikipatys</categorytree> to get result: Wikipatys, Deutsch, English, Graphic Charter, Hidden categories
  • The code <categorytree>Foo</categorytree> on a wiki page, will show the contents of category Foo as a dynamic tree on that page.

From https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:CategoryTree#Usage :

  • let's try a all mode on Encyclopatys <categorytree mode="all" depth="20" showcount"on" hideprefix="never">Encyclopatys</categorytree>:
nothing found
  • a parent mode <categorytree mode="parents" depth="20" showcount"on" hideprefix="never">Mysteries</categorytree>:
  • let's try an other <categorytree style="margin-left: 30px;" mode="all" namespaces="Talk" depth="2">Encyclopatys</categorytree>
no pages or subcategories
  • <categorytree mode="all" depth="2">Root</categorytree>
Root
Forge
Lore



  • With mode=parents we can see all parents of a category :) But how from EN wiki get the FR/EN values ? (tried fr:CategoryName and :fr:CategoryName)
  • depth default is 1. 0 will give roots categories
  • hideroot: set this to "on" to hide the "root" node of the tree (ex: hideroot=on)
Forge
Lore
  • The {{#categorytree:Foo|hideroot|mode=pages}} parser function, same but with other syntax. Using the parser function syntax has the advantage that it allows you to use magic words (such {{#categorytree:{{PAGENAME}}}}), templates ({{#categorytree:{{root category}}}}) and template parameters when specifying the category to show.

care the X-files

In FR, X-files is different

Some stats and Links

Here are the namespace value and content on other wikis

DE and EN wikis are close. FR is very different. Forge comes from an other wiki. And common (host files for all wikis) is very different from others (close to EN). It's historic (from merges).
