+This page is in the namespace '{{tag|Help}}'.  You can see its {{tag|namespace}} in the tab at the top left of this page; it reads: 'help page'.  In this namespace, all [[Help:Pages|pages]] are grouped which provide help text.

+The {{tag|WikiIdea|purpose}} of using several namespaces lies in the possibility to use one and the same identifier several times without creating any ambiguity.  The identifier '''WikiIndex''' can be used in several namespaces:
-The identifier '''WikiIndex''' can be used in several namespaces:
+*In the Main namespace (the 'unnamed' namespace), [[WikiIndex]] is the article page (for this WikiIndex wiki site) that is on the same level as all other wiki article pages that are entries of this index of wiki sites.  It tells how it came into being, who [[Founder|founded]] it, where it is, how big it is, its description and aims, and the like.
-* In the Main namespace (the 'unnamed' namespace) [[WikiIndex]] is the wiki page that is on the same level as all other wiki pages that are entries to this wiki-index. It tells how it came into being, who founded it, where it is, how big it is and the like.
+*In the namespace Help, [[Help:WikiIndex]] is the root page for all '{{tag|help}}' pages about this wiki.
-* In the namespace Help [[Help:WikiIndex]] is the root page for all help pages about this wiki.
-The use of namespaces requires a technical concept that supports namespace which, of course, is already implemented in the MediaWiki software. And in the frame of this concept it requires the explicit definition of any namespace one desires, except the ''main'' namespace which is the namespace that would be available even without the concept of having several namespace<b>s</b>. Such definition is ready made in the software packet for most basic pages like [[Help:File Pages|File Pages]] or can be done by a [[sysop]] for project specific namespaces like [[Help:WikiIndex Pages|WikiIndex Pages]] on this wiki.
