+== Common header for Blog namespace ==
+ChatGTP suggests:
+<pre>To include a template at the top of every page in a specific namespace in MediaWiki, you can use the `MediaWiki:Common.js` or `MediaWiki:Common.css` to add JavaScript or CSS that injects the template. Alternatively, you can use the `MediaWiki:CommonHeader` page if it’s supported in your MediaWiki installation.
+Here’s a method using JavaScript:
+. **Edit `MediaWiki:Common.js`**:
+   - Go to the page `MediaWiki:Common.js` on your wiki.
+   - Add the following script:
+```javascript
+// Add template to the top of every page in a specific namespace
+$(document).ready(function() {
+    // Replace '3000' with your namespace number
+    if (mw.config.get('wgNamespaceNumber') === 3000) {
+        // Replace 'Template:YourTemplateName' with the template you want to include
+        var template = '{{YourTemplateName}}';
+        // Create a new div to hold the template
+        var templateDiv = $('<div></div>').html(template);
+        // Prepend the template to the content
+        $('#content').prepend(templateDiv);
+    }
+});
+```
+. **Edit `MediaWiki:Common.css`** (Optional):
+   - Go to the page `MediaWiki:Common.css` on your wiki.
+   - Add any additional CSS to style the injected template if necessary.
+Here’s a method using the `MediaWiki:CommonHeader` page (if supported):
+. **Create `MediaWiki:CommonHeader` for the specific namespace**:
+   - Go to the page `MediaWiki:CommonHeader/Namespace_3000`.
+   - Add the template you want to include at the top of every page:
+```plaintext
+{{YourTemplateName}}
+```
+This method might require your MediaWiki to have the necessary extensions or configurations to support namespace-specific headers.
+### Explanation:
+- **JavaScript Method**: This script checks if the current namespace matches the specified number (`3000` in this case). If it does, it injects the specified template at the top of the content area.
+- **CommonHeader Method**: This approach uses MediaWiki’s built-in capabilities (if available) to add a common header to all pages in a namespace by creating a `MediaWiki:CommonHeader/Namespace_X` page.
+Choose the method that best fits your MediaWiki configuration and your level of access to the site's backend.
