Here on WikiIndex, we use the 'User:' namespace somewhat differently to, say [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. Because the MediaWiki software is hard-mapped to create pages for accounts of registered [[user]]s directly within this 'User:' namespace, there is a need to manually link automatic signatures to the User: namespace; see the [[redirect]] at [[User:MarkDilley]]: it now goes to [[MarkDilley]] (in the 'Main' namespace), this has a link back to his [[WikiIndex:Talk | Here on WikiIndex, we use the 'User:' namespace somewhat differently to, say [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]].

Like the 'User:' namespace above, the 'User talk:' namespace is also hard-mapped by the MediaWiki software to provide specific in-wiki functions which are not available in any other namespace.

This means that 'User talk:' is the <u>only</u> namespace where in-wiki notification for new messages (and updates) on [[WikiIndex:Talk pages for wiki people|user talk pages]] from others will work; so we do use this namespace for this specific purpose. However, we do also need to create s redirect from the main namespace [[talk page]] for each person to the User talk namespace. | ||
