One thing that would work well in this case, is if someone was to goto a page at wiki.centos.org/es/SomePage/ and find that the page does not exist, it should be possible to put in a message that says "this page does not exist, its not been translated into Spanish as yet, please check the main page at wiki.centos.org/SomePage/ BUT, the issue that comes up in that case is - what happens when content is created in /es/ namespace, which does not have a /en/ translation ? what happens when a /ru/ and /fr/ tree come up as well ? Do we then write a mod to Moin that causes a tree scan, and lists all other languages the page exists in ? With content coming up in other language namespaces, can we still enforce a English namespace for page names ? >> http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HierarchicalAccessControlList > > That's a patch?
