Why is this in the main namespace?[[edit source]]
Why is this in the main namespace? If no-one provides an answer I will place a deletion template on this page. Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500) ☎ 09:40, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- I'm not sure either but this page was created by User:CzechOut, who I presume knows what he's doing when it comes to technical matters. Feel free to drop him a message on his talk page, but I shan't condone deleting this page without hearing from him, or from someone else who knew what he was thinking. For what it's worth, I guess the page is (was?) necessary in the main namespace because it serves(/served?) to test whether certain features worked, and these features may well have encountered problems in the main namespace that wouldn't exist in other namespaces, thus making a test held anywhere but in the main namespace useless.

- OK, that makes sense. I just thought it was odd. Bongo50 (aka Bongolium500) ☎ 11:52, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- Yep, reasonable supposition. I think it was for trying to reproduce some weird bugs that were screwing with wiki text format when the new VisualEditor was starting out. They were really irritating trying to clean up.

- Nonetheless, as mentioned, this page no longer serves any purpose, and should have been deleted a long time ago, especially since it's in the main namespace. Edit history can still be accessed by admins, of course, if anyone is interested in what was being done.
