Custom Namespaces
Custom namespaces are created via manipulation of the $wgExtraNamespace global variable. Manipulation of this variable must be completed before completion of MediaWiki initialization; for instance it cannot be manipulated in a extension post initialization hook. As an example of simple custom namespace creation, one can add an appropriate line to LocalSettings.php,
$wgExtraNamespaces[510] = "Student";
$wgExtraNamespaces[511] = "Student_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[512] = "MedStudent";
$wgExtraNamespaces[513] = "MedStudent_talk";
$wgExtraNamespaces[514] = "SciStudent";
$wgExtraNamespaces[515] = "SciStudent_talk";
