I've created the WS: alias. There was a page at [[WS:sheer]] that couldn't be moved to [[Wikisaurus:sheer]] because the latter already existed; it was moved to [[Wikisaurus:sheer/BROKEN]] instead, and it's probably a redirect that can safely be removed.

I can't create the WT: alias because there's already a WT: namespace; after you've moved any pages and redirects in there to the Wiktionary: namespace (remember that WT:Foo and Wiktionary:Foo will be equivalent after I add the alias) and deleted the WT: pages, I can add the alias.

A list of WT: pages is at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:AllPages/WT: . Note that there's also a handful of talk pages: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:AllPages/WT_talk:

Bug isn't completely fixed, closed the bug by accident.

All pages in the WT namespace have either been moved to the Wiktionary: namespace or deleted.

Cool, that was fast. I've removed the WT namespace and replaced it with an alias.
