Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly point to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get set up for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3

@Suraj_Seth Thanks for submitting the patch! I have reviewed it and left a few minor comments. I have also requested some additional details from the contributor on Translatewiki, as I realized we might be missing a few pieces of information:

https://translatewiki.net/wiki/User_talk:VanModers#Namespace_translations

While it would be good to include those details in the patch once we have them, I'm happy to merge the patch after the minor comments are addressed. Any additional information can be added in a follow-up patch later.
