Editing Talk:Main Page (section)

== Proposal for ''Explain'' namespace ==

Many comics tend to have very simplistic names, which makes disambugation annoying. Given that there are thousands of comic pages, and only a few explanation pages such as [[God (character)]] or [[Zach Weinersmith]], could we move all explanation pages to an <code>Explain:</code> [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespaces namespace]?

::At the moment, there should be 26 non-comic pages. Using the API to scan, I've found 24 in <code>Main:</code>, which are [[Baby Moloch]], [[Bozmodiklax the Vile]], [[Buddha]], [[Chason]], [[Clowns (character)]], [[Evolution (character)]], [[Excited Symposium Attender]], [[God (character)]], [[Internet Points]], [[Jesus (character)]], [[Kelly Weinersmith]], [[List of all comics (full)]], [[Main Page]], [[Original superheroes and supervillains]], [[Phil Plait]], [[Robots]], [[SMBC]], [[Satan (character)]], [[Snow Kids]], [[Stick figures]], [[Votey]], [[Wise masters]], [[Zach Weinersmith]], and [[Zorblaxians]].
::[[References]] and [[SMBC Theater]] are also non-comic pages, but don't link anywhere else and {{mw|Manual:$wgArticleCountMethod|so aren't counted as content pages}}. However, [[Module:Navbar/styles.css]] and [[Module:Navbox/styles.css]] are, according to their info pages, and were not picked up by my script.
