-- This module implements the {{namespace detect}} template in Lua, with a    --
-- few improvements: all namespaces and all namespace aliases are supported,  --
-- and namespace names are detected automatically for the local wiki. The     --
-- module can also use the corresponding subject namespace value if it is     --
-- used on a talk page. Parameter names can be configured for different wikis --
-- by altering the values in the "cfg" table in                               --
