Reservation of numbers for site-specific namespaces 500 - 599

There is a note: "Site-specific custom namespaces are generally assigned in the 100 to 199 range. I would recommend staying out of this range for anything to be defined by an extension."

These numbers are however used by Semantic MediaWiki and Semantic MediaWiki Extensions. It would indeed be very useful to have numbers reserved for site-specific namespaces. According to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_namespace_registration numbers from 500-599 are still free. Would'nt it be a good idea to really reserve this range for site-specific custom namespaces?

Why not. This would help providing wiki administrators with a reliable range not to be used by extension. However my attempt to at least keep them of the range 100-110 failed recently on Manual:Using custom namespaces. Cheers

Well, I do not know. :-( Perhaps it is an option to bring this forward on one of the mailing lists. Cheers

It has been almost a year and nobody voiced an objection. I need a safe range for my own use, so I added this section: Extension_namespace_registration#Site-specific.

Well done. Some wikis I know already use this range.

The discussion continues in #Social tools' namespaces.
