Why is this here?
editPurpose What is the point in having a namespace just for the Education Program and just on this wiki? Isn't Meta or maybe Outreach designed for something like this? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:34, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
- I'd assume that it keeps everything on one wiki so newbies don't have to be taught SUL. Why we need a namespace rather than a WP: namespace placement, however, is something I think merits discussion. Courcelles 20:07, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
- The namespace provides special functionality allowing the Education Program to run smoothly. It is not just a regular "content" namespace (hence why editing is restricted); there is some sort of magic associated with it, apparently. See Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Education Program extension for some background.
- Also, this discussion should be moved elsewhere, as this talk page is orphaned. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:22, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Not done: This page does not exist and it is not this particular page that you seek to delete. Therefore I can see no point in creating this page just to add a mfd notice. I'm not sure where an appropriate place would be though. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:36, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
