| | # [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] '''Oppose''' I think the only real utility of a separate namespace is allowing different granularity of searches. It hasn't been show that "Variations" pages would benefit from this. If the only goal is shortening titles by a few characters then we would add hundreds of new namespaces (Wikiproject:, Frequencies:, Votes:, Policies:, etc.). We have enough separate namespaces to already confuse novice editors attempting to use the "advanced search". --[[User:Bequw|Bequw]] <span class="Unicode">→</span> [[User talk:Bequw|τ]] 04:07, 29 August 2011 (UTC) | | # [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] '''Oppose''' I think the only real utility of a separate namespace is allowing different granularity of searches.

| | + | # [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|20px]] '''Oppose'''. Shortening of titles of pages for faster typing is alone not a sufficient reason for the creation of a dedicated namespace. For context, the pages that would end up in this namespace are in [[:Category:Variation appendices]], which has 248 pages (=26 + 216 + 6) in total. --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] 07:17, 29 August 2011 (UTC) |
