As part of my work consolidating Learning and Evaluation resources on Meta-Wiki, I have now moved the (few) remaining pages out of the `Programs` and `Programs talk` namespaces. I would therefore like to request that they are removed along with `Participation` and `Participation talk`, which similarly are unused except for redirects. (I would like for the redirects to be kept.)
I appreciate that this was rejected when it was first proposed three years ago; however, I personally don't find the explanation satisfactory. Meta does not have a policy against cross-namespace redirects, and I think having "ugly" redirects is an acceptable cost of removing clutter from the UI and properly integrating content with the rest of the website.

Original 2014 proposal:
As part of reorganizing the Grants: namespace on metawiki, we have moved all pages out of the Participation: namespace on metawiki to Grants: namespace.
Currently, the Participation: namespace includes only redirects to old page. Based on the community discussion which can be found at (https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Meta:Babel&oldid=6752207#Organizing_the_Grants:_namespace) could you please remove Participation: (ns:204) and Participation talk: (ns:205) namespaces, and move all current pages (redirects) to the main namespace ns:0.
Thanks you.
