'''WikiIndex:Namespace Conventions''' — this [[wiki]] has many built in namespaces because of the '''[[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]]''' software. Here is how we are . . . or are not using them. | |||
== | ==Main== | ||
* | *All wiki article entries | ||
*Wiki people pages (and users with [[WikiIndex:RealNames|RealNames]]) | |||
*Normal articles related to with WikiSphere in general, such as [[OptOut]] | |||
*Everything not mentioned below. | |||
== | ==WikiIndex:== | ||
*Meta pages, about the policies and workings of WikiIndex, such as [[WikiIndex:AntiSpamMeasures]] | |||
==User talk== | ==User:== | ||
Used 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:== | |||
The user talk page is the only place where notification of messages will work, so we do use this space for that purpose. It's useful for redirect the talk page for each person from the main namespace to the user talk namespace. | The user talk page is the only place where notification of messages will work, so we do use this space for that purpose.

**** If the Help page is not hardwired - then how is the help namespace portal determined? ... Just went to check on a brand new wiki and there is nothing in the Help:Contents space, so it seems to me that it is up to us to figure out, right?

***[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] determines what pages appear in the navigation box | ***[[MediaWiki:Sidebar]] determines what pages appear in the navigation box — all links, including [[Help:Contents]] are therefore editable by admins and can be added, removed or made to point anywhere. Help: is just a namespace like any other and, unless you've downloaded documentation from a [[:Category:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] site and posted it there, will be initially empty. --[[User:Carlb|Carlb]] 11:34, 15 December 2006 (EST) | ||
