Use case(s) : Adding these aliases will:
- Provide intuitive, localized alternatives for namespace names.

- Streamline navigation and editing by offering shorter and more convenient options.
Benefits:
- Enhances localization and usability for Bengali Wikipedia.
- Makes navigation and referencing more intuitive for contributors.
- Aligns with the goals of improving user experience and accessibility.
- Bengali Wikipedia users often need to switch to the English keyboard to specify namespace names. Adding localized $wgNamespaceAliases will address this issue and make namespace usage more convenient.
