I am considering the use of another namespace for different reasons than policy, but... I have one problem with it so far. If I insert something from, say, Location: into a category [[:Category:Locations]], I can control it's sorting by specifying a sort string, but I can't figure out how to control the display of the 'Location:' on each entry. Is it possible to suppress that? --[[User:WhiteWizard|WhiteWizard]] 20:01, 2 April 2007 (PDT)

:This question was [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Magic_words#Suppress_NameSpace_Portion_in_Category_listings previously raised] (and not answered correctly there). One solution that could apply here but not elsewhere is modifying the code to add a new magic word. I asked a member of Wikia to give a more general solution and he suggested a combination of onload JavaScript and a div tag used as a marker, as demonstrated on [[:Template:catnoprefix]] and [[User:GreenKai/monobook.js]] (should theoretically be in common.js as it appplies to all skins).

:This works great for [http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Published_WikiFur_News_articles WikiFur's published news category]. Unfortunately it doesn't work here because [[Special:Version|you're on an old version of MediaWiki]] which doesn't specify id="mw-pages" for that particular div. The 1.6 series is missing quite a few new features from later versions which are not essential, but which are nice to have. You could probably find the relevant code and add it in, or upgrade the whole site. The javascript would go into [[MediaWiki:Common.js]]. [[User:GreenKai|GreenKai]] 23:51, 3 April 2007 (PDT)

::Unfortunately MediaWiki is suffering from one of the great diseases of open source: They insist not on using commonly available libraries, but whatever happens to be the latest at the time of development. In this case 1.6.x is the last version to support the version of php available under stable debian, which is what we are using with our hosing provider. (Redhat is even further behind, at least the version they offer.) So short of rebuilding php and all it's dependencies and all the stuff that would break, I'm using 1.6.x until the next stable debian is released.

::Guess I'll have to look at the code. That's probably in the theme, it should not be hard to find. -[[User:WhiteWizard|WhiteWizard]] 07:38, 4 April 2007 (PDT)
