Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description:
The English Wikinews recently discussed making WN: an alias for the Project: namespace (as the English Wikipedia has done for a while), and support was unanimous (see the discussion at http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Water_cooler/proposals#WN_redirecting_to_Wikinews).
Can this be done, please?
