Wiki namespace
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 | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main | (none) | Most articles | Wiki FAQ |
| Help | Help | Help:Adding an article | |
| Template | Template | Template:something | |
| Project | COLLADA | Refers to the name of the wiki installation itself, not to the product COLLADA (could be confusing) | COLLADA:About |
| User | User | Individual user pages for each registered user | User:Elf |
| Image | Image | JPEGs, PNGs, GIFs | Image:foo.png |
| Talk (for each of the preceding) | (varies) | Discussion for articles | User talk:Elf, Help talk:Adding an article |
| Category | Category | Groups of articles that contain a specific Category label | Category:COLLADA terminology |
| Portal | Portal | (in later versions of wiki software) | Portal:Tutorials |
| MediaWiki | MediaWiki | For customizing wiki; only sysops or bureaucrats can edit | MediaWiki:something |
