Show explanation text when users go to Commons data: without .tab or .map ext
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

When editors come to the Data namespace on Commons, they sometimes want to create a page, and do not understand why it is not possible. We should show a proper explanation text. Since this is Commons-only, there is not much sense to do it from code.

TODO: Modify MediaWiki:Noarticletext-nopermission to check if the current namespace is DATA, and if so, show text that points to .tab and .map help pages, and quickly explains what they do.

As I understand that is an easier to implement substitution for T153862 for the time being?

Correct. A simple {{#ifeq: {{NAMESPACE}} | Data | ... | ...}} or something similar.
