Deleting a namespace

The button can be used to delete a selected namespace. System namespaces and namespaces not created in the manager can not be deleted. You will be warned that you are about to delete the Namespace for good. If there are articles already in your namespace, you can choose what happens to them:

• they are deleted,
• they are moved to the mainspace,
• they are moved to the mainspace with a suffix "(from )"

Note: it is not possible to separately delete a discussion namespace, as this is associated with the corresponding custon namespace.
