Jawiki is using "モジュール‐ノート" as Ns:829.
According to mw:manual:Namespace, "(canonical prefix) works on all wikis regardless of configuration.".
But at jawiki, "Module talk" does not work.
typing {{NAMESPACENUMBER:Module talk:A}} returns 0, So I guess it simply treated as main namespace.
I'm requesting Module talk: to be added as alias of ns:829.
Also, same problem is happning on jawikivoyage, too.
Thank you.

Reverted in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/818056/, as it doesn't work as expected. This seems to be a bug of that extension itself or something else?
03:48:24 <PleaseStand> I tested using WikimediaDebug on mwdebug1001, and koi's patch doesn't seem to work 03:49:00 <PleaseStand> If what the author of the Phab task is saying is correct, there should be no need for special site configuration, and the bug lies elsewhere

API query that shows the issue: https://ja.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&formatversion=2&siprop=namespaces%7Cnamespacealiases
Notice that the value of "canonical" is wrong for namespace ID 829 (should be "Module talk" rather than equal to the value of "name"). I was able to reproduce the issue locally by copying relevant config settings ($wgLanguageCode, $wgExtraNamespaces and $wgNamespaceAliases) from InitialiseSettings.php to the LocalSettings.php file of a test wiki.
InitialiseSettings.php overrides the name of this namespace (see T49933) using $wgExtraNamespaces, which MediaWiki.org seems to indicate should work. Unfortunately, this does not work correctly for namespaces registered using extension.json.
Specifically, in includes/SetupDynamicConfig.php, the namespace names from $wgExtraNamespaces are added to $wgCanonicalNamespaceNames. Canonical names of core namespaces already exist in the array, so are not replaced. Names of extension namespaces, however, do not already exist in the array.
NamespaceInfo::getCanonicalNamespaces() already adds the namespaces from $wgExtraNamespaces to its list in such a way that canonical names defined by extensions are not overridden, and not much code reads $wgCanonicalNamespaces directly anymore (see code search), so maybe the simplest fix is to remove that "UGLY UGLY" code from SetupDynamicConfig.php.

My patch to MediaWiki appears to have fixed the reported problem on jawikivoyage. It is expected to be deployed to jawiki tomorrow at around 18:00 UTC (see deployment calendar) as part of 1.39.0-wmf.23.

1.39.0-wmf.23 was deployed, and it appears to have fixed the reported problem on jawiki.
There were 12 rows in jawiki's pagelinks table having pl_namespace = 0 and pl_title like 'Module_talk:%'. I fixed these using an API purge with the "forcelinkupdate" option set (similar to a null edit).
