'''WikiIndex:Namespace Conventions''' — this [[WikiIndex]] wiki has many built-in 'namespaces', | '''WikiIndex:Namespace Conventions''' — the [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software which this [[WikiIndex]] wiki uses has many built-in 'namespaces', many are the standard default namespaces, as used in a similar vein by the plethora of other MediaWiki sites. Here is how we at WikiIndex are . . . or are not using them. | ||
==Main== | ==Main== | ||
This is the basic namespace. Articles will be shown by their title without any prefix, and similarly without any prefix as a URL in your browser address bar immediately after the <tt><nowiki>http://wikiindex.org/</nowiki></tt>. | |||
*All [[wiki]] article entries | *All [[wiki]] article entries | ||
*[[:Category:Wiki People|Wiki people]] pages (and users with [[WikiIndex:RealNames|RealNames]]) | *[[:Category:Wiki People|Wiki people]] pages (and users with [[WikiIndex:RealNames|RealNames]]) | ||
*Normal articles related to with WikiSphere in general, such as [[OptOut]] | *Normal articles (which arn't actual wikis) related to with WikiSphere in general, such as [[OptOut]], [[:Category:WikiIdea|WikiIdeas]], etc | ||
*Everything not mentioned below. | *Everything not mentioned below. | ||
Please see [[WikiIndex:Naming Conventions]] for guidance on how to correctly name articles. | |||
==WikiIndex:== | ==WikiIndex:== | ||
This is typically known as the 'meta' namespace. 'Meta' pages are about the specific policies and workings of WikiIndex, such as [[WikiIndex:AntiSpamMeasures]]. | |||
==User:== | ==User:== | ||
We use the 'User:' namespace differently to, say [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. Since automatic signatures link here, see the redirect at [[User:MarkDilley]]. It goes to [[MarkDilley]], which has a link back to his user talk page. | |||
==User talk:== | ==User talk:== | ||
The user talk page is the only place where notification of messages will work, so we do use this | The user talk page is the only place where notification of messages will work, so we do use this namespace for that purpose. It is useful for redirect the talk page for each person from the main namespace to the user talk namespace. | ||
==Category:== | ==Category:== | ||
[[Special:Categories|Categories]] go | All WikiIndex [[Special:Categories|Categories]] go in this namespace. <tt><nowiki>[[Category:Wiki]]</nowiki></tt> can be placed in an article to add it to the [[:Category:Wiki|wiki category]] in the same manner as keywords. | ||
We also use the 'tag' command to include articles into categories; this is useful when needing to create a wikilink to a category within the prose of an article. <tt><nowiki>{{tag|wiki}}</nowiki></tt> would also include the article into [[:Category:Wiki]]. | |||
==Template:== | ==Template:== | ||
[[:Category:Templates| | All WikiIndex [[:Category:Templates|templates]] go in this namespace. | ||
== | ==File:== | ||
[[:Category:Images| | All WikiIndex [[:Category:Images|images]] ''should'' be in this namespace. These currently include: | ||
*Uploaded [[:Category:WikiLogo|Logos]] | *Uploaded [[:Category:WikiLogo|Logos]] | ||
*Uploaded [[:Category:Wiki People Images|People pictures]] | *Uploaded [[:Category:Wiki People Images|People pictures]] | ||
**Uploaded Charictures | **Uploaded Charictures | ||
The file namespace can also support other media files, such as video and audio. | |||
