@A_smart_kitten Yeah, that'll show you how long this has been in the works! Those configs were still in use when the proposal began.

@taavi: Sorry, to be clear, there's no need for namespace aliases of Word and Word talk. Those were just translations I gave to explain what we're using the namespaces for.

On the subject of English namespace-aliases -- just FYI, by default, it appears that all Wikipedias have the namespace-aliases Wikipedia: & WP: defined for their project namespaces, & Wikipedia talk: defined for their project talk namespaces.
Judging by this link giving me a 'bad title' error & these two not, it seems like Wikipesija.org might currently have Wikipedia: defined as a namespace-alias, but not WP: or Wikipedia talk:.

@taavi: Sorry, to be clear, there's no need for namespace aliases of Word and Word talk. Those were just translations I gave to explain what we're using the namespaces for.

Is there a reason not to add those as aliases? (The current config is very inconsistent whether to add those or not, I find those useful to have and don't see any current articles in the dump that would conflict with them.)

No, it wouldn't break anything, and actually because of how Toki Pona grammar works, even an article like "Word: Live at Carnegie Hall" would have its title begin with a common noun before you get to the start of the work's title. If there's a benefit in having an English-language namespace alias, then I have no objection.
