This wiki has many namespaces. How are we doing to use them, if at all? Template:TOCright

main

  • All wiki entries
  • Wiki people pages
  • Normal Articles related to with WikiSphere in general, such as AntiSpamMeasures
  • What else goes here?

WikiIndex

User

  • Not used. 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.

Category

  • Categories go here.

Template

  • Templates go here.

Images

  • Uploaded Logos
  • Uploaded People Pictures
  • Uploaded Charictures

Examples of issues discussed

  • I believe TedErnst was trying to help me understand that RecursiveNatureOfWiki belonged somewhere else, perhaps WikiIndex: RecursiveNatureOfWiki. Is this what you were thinking Ted? Best, MarkDilley
    • I see articles about wiki in general, like the spam measures example above, as perfectly legitimate in the main namespace. As RecursiveNatureOfWiki stands right now, it seems like a meta conversation that would be better placed at [[WikiIndex: RecursiveNatureOfWiki]. Now I'm not sure I grok the concept so I might be missing it and maybe it really isn't meta issue for this wiki, but a larger issue of the WikiSphere, in which case it seems to me it should stay where it is. Is my way of thinking about these things helpful to anyone? TedErnst 13:50, 21 Jan 2006 (EST)
