--      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.          --
--                                                                                                --
