I suggest creating a tag to cover mediawiki core tasks related to the namespace logic and the NamespaceInfo class
Example tasks:
- T91162: RFC: Shadow namespaces
- T182863: Unify how namespace properties are set
- T165149: RFC: Drop requirement to define a talk namespace for every subject namespace
- T94002: $wgRightsPage, $wgRightsUrl, and $wgRightsText should be customizable by namespace
- T35298: Option to disable some or all talk namespaces
- T33063: MediaWiki should use a reservation system for namespaces
- T11845: Special functions of namespaces should not be hardcoded
- T9803: Namespace manager
- T244600: Interwiki Titles incorrectly return NS_MAIN from getNamespace()
- T226667: Register namespaces in the database
