Default and Other Namespaces
Pages without a ':' in their name are in the main namespace. These correspond to the content pages in the wiki. Pages which aren't directly related to this core content, may go in other namespaces. These pages have a name of the form "namespace:page", for example this page is called "Help:Namespaces" (it is in the Help namespace)
The standard namespaces are:
- Help
- Documentation about working with the wiki software. This could be mirrored from outside sites, or locally written.
- Image
- For descriptions of uploaded files or media files. You shouldn't create these directly; they are created when you click the Upload file link in the toolbox.
- Media
- Use this namespace to link to uploaded files directly, rather than through the description pages.
- Talk
- Each page has a corresponding discussion page. This can be used for feedback/comments about that page, or other local notes that another group may want to associate with the page, without modifying the document directly, or for any other additional information to associate with the document.
- User
- For personal notes. Each User has a corresponding user page for their own information. Users can also create subpages, by using a / after their name.
- User_talk
- The discussion page on a user's page can be used for leaving messages. If this page is edited, the next time that user logs in they will see a box notifying them that they have new messages
