It's the same on our wiki too... except in Mediawiki:sitenotice. Try putting {{NAMESPACE}} in Mediawiki:sitenotice (which is what the poster wanted), then viewing pages in different namespaces, and you'll see what I mean. It's always "MediaWiki". DanB -Original Message- From: Zak Grea

Wow, thank you very much! I'll also go and read me through. As far as I see, the basic feature I need is a kind of parsing before the text is searched, whereby all middots in the text-to-search are eliminated. The other method would be to multiply the term-to-find with middots at every possibly
