Copypaste for what I said earlier:

1) UESP people probably wouldn't give a crap if this wiki used a lore namespace. The only thing that they have a problem with is people copy-pasting paragraphs and images without attribution - which is perfectly normal. And given his wiki's history... yeah.

2) A namespace isn't copying. Many wikis use them and the average user wont notice.

3) Even if you do switch to using a Lore namespace, there is a huge amount of work associated with that. For one, people will need to go through ALL the existing pages and re-link ALL the links to the lore namespace. A bot can't do this. Yeah, I can't see anyone jumping at the change to do that exciting job.

4) Best solution, keep using the "Pagename (Lore)" system. Its not perfect, but its much less work.

There are a huge number of lore pages: Lore Characters has 400 alone. Some overlap with the games of course, but if you are going to do a lore namespace there is not sense in doing it half right - that means moving all the lore info on the game specific pages to their own lore page in the lore namespace.

A script can only mass update links, but a human needs to determine if the link should point to a game specific page or a lore page. Either way, you need to ask yourself if this is worth all the work. Personally I'd prefer more info on ESO, but thats me.
