Description:
If possible, please create an Opinions namespace in the Bulgarian version of Wikinews.

The Bulgarian name of the namespace should be "Мнения" (without the quotes).

A voting about creating this namespace, reflecting a consensus among the active contributors, can be found [http://bg.wikinews.org/wiki/%D0%A3%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8:%D0%93%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5#.D0.98.D0.BC.D0.B5.D0.BD.D0.BD.D0.BE_.D0.BF.D1.80.D0.BE.D1.81.D1.82.D1.80.D0.B0.D0.BD.D1.81.D1.82.D0.B2.D0.BE_.D0.9C.D0.BD.D0.B5.D0.BD.D0.B8.D1.8F here].

What should the name of the talk namespace be?

Probably haven't clarified myself well enough. My apologies.

The new namespace should be attached to the main namespace, like the Opinions namespace in the English language Wikinews. For this reason, it is not expected to have a talk namespace.

Note: The english wikinews uses Comment namespace (ns#102) for this purpose, which has comments_talk (ns#103) as a secret talk namespace. We use various css/js hacks (theres a bug somewhere with a proposed extension to put it in php that never got reviewed) to hide this secret talk namespace.

I'd be able to help the bulgarian project with porting over said css/js if they want it.

cheers.

As Bawolff said, this attaching to the main namespace is not a software feature but is done with JavaScript. Even though the talk namespace wouldn't be used, it still has to exist.

I could help with translation (if needed) of the said css/js.

Ummm... can't see them. Moreover, I stopped being able to see the Opinions page in the English Wikinews, too. Deleted all stored content in my browser, in case some old css or js spoils the soup - the same result. Any counsel, please?

Thats because bg doesn't have the js hack that makes opinion look like a second talk namespace yet. Right now its just a namespace with no pages in it.

Why en wikinews opinion ns stopped appearing to you is a good question. Check to make sure you have js enabled, and if it persists write a message on either [[n:Wikinews:Water Cooler/technical]] or my talk. (Here is not a good place to report bugs for that, since the js that does the opinion tab is maintained by the wikinews community, not the devs, so bug reports relating to that should be sent to the wikinewsies).

Cheers.
