I would presume for ease of use - it's shorter to write and is more
immediately clear (to the non-wikipedian) what is meant.
I guess that the underlying idea is that Wikiprojects (and indeed any form
of collaboration that is more complex than what can be handled in an
individual article's talkpage)

It would, that's a sensible idea.
Another easy option is to use a term like "collaboration", or to put the
topic first.
"Collaboration:Cosmology"?
"Military history collaboration"?

Is there that much CamelCase support still? I thought it was bad
enough we were stuck with sticking "wiki-" onto everything.

If these pages were moved to "Wikiproject:..." would there be any
problems with our continuing to use WP: as a shortcut prefix?

Current tally appears to be ~ 16 in favor of changing it, to 9 opposed
to changing it. The objections appear to be based in technical

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_namespace ,
and made a tally.
I wonder if its possible that someone from the technical staff to give
us an unbiased breakdown of the technical requirements and server
costs to implement a namespace change
