:The Special:Namespaces page was something that appeared briefly in one fork (1.6-database) of the MediaWiki.org distribution, then disappeared just as quickly. The extension allowed bureaucrats to get access to the list of namespaces directly from the web interface, which made initial configuration a little easier.

:The version currently on uncyclopedia.info (not the main Uncyclopedia or related Wikia, but a few localised projects like pt: zh-tw: ja: fi: hu: that live on a dedicated server) is just a quick kludge. It was created by modifying the [[Special:Interwiki]] extension to update the namespace_names database table and language/Languages.php to read the language names from this database. This kludge was a way to avoid losing Special:Namespaces entirely during upgrades to MW1.7/1.8.
