Detailed Description

This is a utility class with only static functions for dealing with namespaces that encodes all the "magic" behaviors of them based on index.

The textual names of the namespaces are handled by Language.php.

These are synonyms for the names given in the language file Users and translators should not change them

Member Function Documentation

static MWNamespace::canTalk (   $index)
static

Can this namespace ever have a talk namespace?

Parameters
int$indexNamespace index

bool

static MWNamespace::equals (   $ns1,
  $ns2 
)

Note
It's possible that in the future we may start using something other than just namespace indexes. Under that circumstance making use of this function rather than directly doing comparison will make sure that code will not potentially break.

bool

Member Data Documentation

MWNamespace::$alwaysCapitalizedNamespaces = [ NS_SPECIAL, NS_USER, NS_MEDIAWIKI ]
staticprivate

These namespaces should always be first-letter capitalized, now and forevermore.

Historically, they could've probably been lowercased too, but some things are just too ingrained now. :)
