Pages without a colon (:) in their name are in the main namespace. Most pages with content pertaining to the wiki's mission are typically in the main namespace. Pages with meta-information, help documentation, policies, feedback or comments about main pages, or other content not directly about the Star Wars reference materials we create may go in other namespaces. These pages will be titled according to the following format: namespace:page. For example, this page is called Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki:Namespaces (it is in the Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki namespace).
Namespaces on Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki[]
- Category
- For the categories that organise pages.
- File
- For descriptions of uploaded files or images. You shouldn't create these directly; they are created when you click the Upload file link in the toolbox. See the images page for more information.
- Media
- Use this namespace to link to uploaded files directly, rather than through the description pages.
- MediaWiki
- This namespace is used to change the default system messages, See Help:System message on meta. NOTE: Please discuss with an admin before you change anything in this namespace!
- Project
- Information about this wiki; i.e. policies that apply here and help pages. This namespace also has an alias, which is the name of the wiki installation (Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki).
- Talk
- Each page has a corresponding talk or discussion page. This can be used for feedback/comments about that page, or other local notes that another group may want to associate with the page, without modifying the document directly, or for any other additional information to associate with the document.
- Template
- This is used for meta-information that is to be transcluded into multiple documents, such as tags to mark the status of a document.
- User
- For personal notes. Each User has a corresponding user page that they can edit with whatever they like (as long as it obeys the Terms of Use). You can use this to introduce yourself or store information you'd like to refer back to. Users can also create subpages, by using a / after their name. People often use this to create sandboxes or workbenches (i.e., places you can test things out or draft articles).
- User_talk
- The talk page on a user's page can be used for leaving messages. If this page is edited, the next time that user logs in they will see a box notifying them that they have new messages.
