==MediaWiki-namespace==
This is a new feature in [[MediaWiki]]. It is a namespace for storing and accessing large number of short items quickly. All <nowiki>[[MediaWiki:]]</nowiki> entries are stored in RAM and can be modified on the fly by sysops. MediaWiki-namespace items have the possibility to use variable-subsitution which is really useful for displaying [[campaign]] stats in [[Opinion Wiki]] articles among other things.
