Current list (API call)

This returns the proper namespace name, given the single parameter of its ID number, per Template:Namespaces. For example:

{{Namespace name|1}}

Talk

{{Namespace name|711}}

TimedText talk

Plays well with {{ Database report}}.

This does, more or less, the same thing as the magic word {{ns:711}} (and it indeed incorporates that magic word to handle alphabetic input). However, it adds the functionality of parsing deprecated namespaces as well, like Book: and Gadget: et cetera.
