In this wiki software, the namespace refers to several article-title prefixes that are treated specially. For example, when you search, by default it searches only in the main namespace. If you don't find a page, it lists various namespaces in which you might want to search.
The namespaces are:
| Namespace | Prefix | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | (none) | Most articles | Wiki, COLLADA FAQ |
| Help | Help | Help with using the wiki | Help:Adding an article |
| Template | Template | Standard text for adding to articles | Template:Editor |
| Project | COLLADA | Refers to the name of the wiki installation itself, not to the product COLLADA (could be confusing) | COLLADA:Site support |
| User | User | Individual user pages for each registered user | User:Elf |
| Image | Image | JPEGs, PNGs, GIFs. When included in an article, displays the image; Gwhen viewed as its own page, contains info about the image as well. | Image:Category example.png |
| Category | Category | Groups of articles that contain a specific Category label | Category:COLLADA terminology |
| MediaWiki | MediaWiki | For customizing wiki; only sysops or bureaucrats can edit | MediaWiki:Forum-url |
| Talk (for each of the preceding) | (varies) | Discussion for articles | User talk:Elf, Help talk:Adding an article |
| Portal | Portal | Reader-oriented portals (like doors or entry ports) that help readers find and browse through articles related to a specific subject. (might be supported in later versions of wiki software; it's currently treated the same as Main namespace by MediaWiki software, but is used a lot in Wikipedia.) | Tutorials could become Portal:Tutorials |
