Help:Namespaces/ksh

Pages on a MediaWiki wiki are grouped into collections called “namespaces,” which differentiate between the purpose of the pages at a high level. Pages in certain namespaces can also have special properties or behave differently when they interact with other pages.

A page whose name is not prefixed by a namespace lies in the mainspace. Note, however, that colons and prefixes can also appear in page titles without indicating a namespace: the page  is a page located in the mainspace because the namespace “Foo” does not exist. Similarly the page  is in the “” namespace.

Standard namespaces
The standard MediaWiki installation has sixteen namespaces that can contain user-generated content; there are also two special namespaces that contain pages created “on the fly” by the MediaWiki software. The standard namespaces are organized in pairs, with each pair containing a “subject namespace” and a “discussion namespace.” The namespaces are numbered from zero such that all subject namespaces have even indices and all talk namespaces have odd indices.

Extra
This namespace is used to group, reports and interfaces that are generated “on demand” by MediaWiki and that are not directly editable. It is not possible to create pages in this namespace except by modifying or extending the MediaWiki software.

The namespace that has no prefix separated by a colon. Commonly called the “main namespace” or “mainspace.” This namespace typically contains the bulk of the in a wiki. This namespace generally has no special properties.

This is a talk namespace that is normally used for discussions related to the associated project pages. It has no special properties.

To create an to the file page, you need to add a colon to the front of the namespace:   produces     :Wiki.png. The standard MediaWiki installation has alias “Image” for “   ” namespace – See Namespace aliases.

For linking media files directly, bypassing the description page, see Media namespace.

Help talk
This is a talk namespace that is normally used for discussions related to the associated help pages. It has no special properties.

Saachjrupp
The “   ” namespace contains, dynamic lists of other pages. To facilitate this, linking directly to a category page does not output an inline link, but instead includes the page into the associated category page. So the code  causes a category link to appear at the bottom of the page (at the bottom in the box marked “”). Clicking on that link takes you to the category page, where this page is visible in the category list.

To create an inline link to a category page, you need to add a colon to the front of the namespace:  produces     :Help. See for more details on category link syntax.

Localisation
Namespace names and aliases can be localized by developers. To request the localization of namespace names, please file a MediaWiki internationalization task at. In the description of the task, you should provide translations of all the namespaces in the table to the right, as well as any additional namespaces on your wiki (such as "Module" or "Gadget").

Renaming namespaces
Namespace names can be translated into languages other than English and individual namespaces can be renamed, as set by a wiki's system admins (using Namespace manager). These names are known as the 'localized' namespace names. However, all namespaces have a 'canonical name', the original English name which will work on any installation of MediaWiki. So linking to User:Foo will always locate the user page for the user foo, whether the wiki is in French (where the localized name would be Utilisateur:Foo), Russian (Участник:Foo), or Hindi (सदस्य:Foo).

The canonical namespace names are given in the table to the right along with their localized names on this wiki.

Namespace aliases
On some wikis there are also namespace aliases: alternative names that will also be resolved to the localised names. For instance, a wiki might define "T" as an alias for   , such that typing T:Foo is equivalent to     :Foo, saving a few characters and seconds. An actual example would be on the English Wikipedia, where "WP" is an alias for   , which is the namespace "Wikipedia".

By default, "Image" is an alias for   , so   is equivalent to.

Custom namespaces

 * See for more information.

Some wikis may wish to organize their content in ways that do not fit into this standard set of namespaces. A wiki may define additional namespaces to facilitate this; these namespaces behave exactly like normal namespaces, and generally have indices greater than or equal to 100. These custom namespaces generally have no special properties.

Identifying namespaces
There are a number of ways by which the namespace of a particular page can be identified:


 * Magic words

The magic word  returns the value of the namespace the page is in.


 * JavaScript

The JavaScript variable  contains the full namespace name. The variable  contains the numerical index of the namespace.


 * CSS

The  tag of the HTML page output is given two CSS classes that vary by namespace: A class , where # is the index of the namespace, and  , where XXX is " " for all , " " for pages in the      namespace, and " " for. So CSS code such as the following can be used to change the appearance of an object based on its namespace:

You can get a complete list of all namespace names of a MediaWiki installation from the Search results page Advanced tab, or from any recent changes page such as contributions or watchlist in its options box, in a drop-down list. For the system properties of each namespace, use the MediaWiki :
