Details

Associative array mapping namespace IDs to the name of the content model pages in that namespace should have by default (use the CONTENT_MODEL_XXX constants). If no special content type is defined for a given namespace, pages in that namespace will use the CONTENT_MODEL_WIKITEXT (except for the special case of JavaScript and CSS pages).

Example

JSON

Suppose you have created a new custom namespace NS_JSON and you want all new pages in this namespace to have JSON content and to be supported by the appropriate content handler. Add the following to your LocalSettings.php file.

$wgNamespaceContentModels[NS_JSON] = CONTENT_MODEL_JSON;

If you already created pages in this namespace, see the talk page.
