Hello, if you are not aware, those configs change the Project: namespace. If that is your desired effect, I'll submit PR to add them.

Based on my reading of the documentation this should change the meta namespace form [Wiki's name]: to the word Meta:, and Project: namespace is just an alias for the Meta/Wiki-name namespace. Am I wrong?
But yes, I don't want to have a namespace under the [wiki's name]: or under Project:, just one and only Meta: namespace.

Hello, thank you for your response I have submitted a pull request to add these variables to Special:ManageWiki/settings. Once/if approved you will be able to change them from there.

Unfortunately these variables are not possible at this time. You could create a new namespace and just use it as you would the Project: namespace. I apologize.
