-- PAGETYPE --
-- --
-- This is a meta-module intended to replace {{pagetype}} and similar --
-- templates. It automatically detects namespaces, and allows for a --
-- great deal of customisation. It can easily be ported to other --
-- wikis by changing the values in the [[Module:Pagetype/config]]. --

-- File: namespace, which wouldn't work if we passed the parameters through
-- separately.
