Thanks Petr and Aryeh for getting back. From the Documentation at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Page_table and http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Namespace you can get the names of the Real and Virtual Namespeaces in includes/Defines.php and then get what text they convert to in English using languages/messages/MessagesEn.php. This is fine, but where can I find information on custom namespaces i.e. those that lie above 100. Thanks, O.
