Hi,
It's my first task in Phabricator, so feel free to ask me questions if something is unclear.
The Arabic wikipedia community wants to delete a namespace used in Arabic wikipedia for annexes (the content is mainly lists) and to replace it in the main namespace (articles).
As an example :
the actual Arabic page for the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states is called : **ملحق:**قائمة الدول
which means **Annex**:List of countries
what we want is an article called **قائمة الدول** which means **list of countries**
The problems that you may face :
* Sometimes there is a redirect from list of countries to annex:list of countries, so you have to erase the existing redirect page
* You have to avoid loosing the direct links to annex:list of countries. For example, in an article, [[Annex:List of countries|a lot of countries]] must become [[List of countries|a lot of countries]] and not a red link.
* If the page [[list of countries]] already exists, we need to decide if we replace it by [[annex:list of countries]] or we merge them. So if the problem happens we may need a list to analyse them.
