Contents
Several entries
There's still the problem that you may have several entries resulting in the same wiki link.
"namespace variables" could mean the variables in general or the two #nsname and #nstype variables. Or the str(ing) command and the #str(ength) variable.
One way to deal with this would be to use other names, e.g. varstr. Alternatively, one could also simply host all entries on a single page and make subsections for each meaning. Then you could link to them using e.g. Str#Variable and Str#Command.

Variables and Commands
I'm assuming then that you can't preface a page name with a # somehow?
tests:
# #true
& #x0023; & #x0023;true
(without the space between & and #)
--Kedrick Valorite 18:59, 6 Aug 2005 (PDT)
Nope
No, you simply can't make pages that are named #something. You can hide the real links by using piped links.
E.g. [[Help:Sandbox|BlaBla]] = BlaBla

Namespaces?
humm...
namespaces for commands and sysvars?
e.g [[Commands:str]] and [[SysVars:str]]

Languages and Arrows
FYI: as a convention, I used an arrow for 'read only' variables and planned on using a double arrow for read/write variables (within the sysVar page itself)
good, bad, indifferent?

Languages
Here are a few language abbreviations:

I'd like to have it multilingual.
I see CEO has already used a namespace Tutorials. Are you guys sure you understand how namespaces work? It seems to me you can't just pick any namespace you like:

There's a maximum of 78 custom namespaces (article+talk). That may change in MediaWiki 1.5.
PS: I changed this discussion page to contain headings. If more people talk about different things then you can use subheadings to reply to a special heading, thus creating a reply-tree structure (you may have to insert text in the middle to reply to a heading in the middle of the discussion page). I've got the idea from here: http://www.wowwiki.com/Talk:Main_Page
