Custom namespaces:

To add a new namespace, just set $wgExtraNamespaces in LocalSettings.php.
Custom namespaces must begin at 100.
This is primarily intended to let us add a bunch of international versions
of the "Help:" namespace on Meta, so we can finally have a single place for
all documentation and easily dump/import it to other wikis.
