I would like to request deletion of the namespace:104 (Tematica) from it:voy. The pages that were in it have already been moved to the ns:0. I ask for this deltation after following discussion: https://it.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Wikivoyage:Lounge/Archivio/2014/11#Namespace_Tematica
This was already done, some time ago, in the German version.

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Delete Tematica namespace (NS:104) in Italian Wikivoyage
Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2022-01-05T01:49:11Z] <ebernhardson@deploy1002> Synchronized wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php: Config: [[gerrit:750814|Delete Tematica namespace (NS:104) in Italian Wikivoyage (T298315)]] (duration: 01m 07s)
@3Pappa3: The Tematica (NS:104) and Discussioni_tematica (NS:105) namespace are deleted.
There are still a couple of pages defined in that now-undefined namespace in the database. This shoul be fix before closing this issue.
37 rows in 105 => 'Discussioni_tematica'
sql SELECT page_title FROM page WHERE page_namespace = 105;
and 226 rows in 104 => 'Tematica'
sql SELECT page_title FROM page WHERE page_namespace = 104;
this should be cleaned up. I do not know whom to ping, who may do it.

[operations/mediawiki-config@master] Deleting Ns:104 in itwikivoyage
@Aklapper sorry for ping. Do you know who can clean the database? There are still pages defined in that now-undefined namespace in the database.
This would need to be done with a script via MW, we do not execute commands directly on the DB.
I don't know if @Ladsgroup can help with this or we need Platform Engineering for it.
What should be done with those pages? Should they be deleted? Or moved to another namespace (which one)? Note that if we delete the pages, they won't really be accessible (just as they aren't accessible right now), because they'd still be in an undefined/deleted namespace, just also deleted by the MediaWiki's delete page option.

This database also poses a problem for the bots that generate reports on Wikidata. You can see an example of this issue at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Sitelink_to_redirect_with_unconnected_target. The bot owner, @MisterSynergy, has mentioned that he is aware of the situation concerning itwikivoyage. This project used to have a namespace 104 ("Tematica"), and there are still a couple of pages defined in that now-undefined namespace in the database, including the five ones listed on the report. It appears that the database was not properly cleaned up after the namespace reorganization.
General question: is there a way to automate the process of ensuring that the database is consistently cleaned up after namespace reorganizations?
