The use of namespaces requires a technical concept that supports namespace which, of course, is already implemented in the MediaWiki software. And in the frame of this concept it requires the explicit definition of any namespace one desires, except the ''main'' namespace which is the namespace that would be available even without the concept of having several namespace<b>s</b>.
