FlaggedRevs still treats a removed namespace as if it still exists (arwiki)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Background:

  • Arabic Wikipedia (arwiki) had previously an additional namespace called "ملحق" (ns: 104) that was later removed from wiki per community consensus. (See T98896)
  • Arabic Wikipedia has the FlaggedRevs extension installed.

Problem:

  • The FlaggedRevs extension on arwiki still treats the "ملحق" as if it still exists.
  • For example, the special page ar:Special:ValidationStatistics still treats the namespace as existing.

(See the last row in the table which contains "-0". This row used to have statistics about the removed ns:104)

Request:

  • The FlaggedRevs configuration on arwiki should be modified to reflect the fact that the "ملحق" namespace was removed.
  • In the Wikimedia configuration file flaggedrevs.php, we see:
 elseif ( $wgDBname == 'arwiki' ) {
	$wgFlaggedRevsWhitelist = [ 'الصفحة_الرئيسية' ];
	$wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces = array_merge( $wgFlaggedRevsNamespaces, [ 100, 104 ] ); // T21332
}

Hi @Meno25, we're all volunteers here, so it can take a few days/weeks to implement requests :)
@Zoranzoki21 if you don't have enough time these days, don't hesitate to ask in Z398 for someone else or unassign yourself.

And this will be deployed today.
