Manual:Namespace/fi

Nimiavaruus on kokoelma sivuja, joiden sisällöllä on samankaltainen tarkoitus. Nimiavaruuksien voidaan ajatella erottelevan eri tyyppiset tiedot samassa wikissä ja pitävän "oikean" sisällön erillään käyttäjäsivuista, ohjesivuista ja muista vastaavista.

Technical overview
Pages exist within a namespace, and this can be distinguished using the namespace prefix of a page, which forms part of the title of a page, separated with a colon.

Esimerkiksi:

"Pääavaruudella" ei ole etuliitettä. Pääavaruudessa olevien sivujen nimet eivät voi myöskään alkaa minkään olemassaolevan nimiavaruuden etuliitteellä ja kaksoispisteellä.

Sivuja voi siirtää nimiavaruuksien välillä yksinkertaisesti vaihtamalla niiden otsikossa olevaa etuliitettä.

Namespace prefixes can be translated, and aliases can be configured for each (see ). All namespaces also have a "canonical" prefix, which works on all wikis regardless of configuration. Aliases and canonical names can be used in links, when performing a search, and in the page title with the help of the magic word.

Each namespace has a corresponding namespace index. Within the database, the title is split into namespace index and text title, and this is used for storage in the  and   columns, among others.

Subject and talk namespaces

 * See for instructions on how to use talk pages.

Most namespaces have an associated discussion namespace (or "talk" namespace). All discussion namespaces have odd-integer indices, and the discussion namespace index for a specific namespace with index n is n+1. The namespaces with even-integer indices are subject namespaces (note that this is a distinct concept from content namespaces). The subject-talk duality can be explored using the  and   magic words. The tag of pages in talk namespaces has the " " CSS class, which might be useful for styling.



Sisäänrakennetut nimiavaruudet
MediaWikissä on valmiina 18 sisäänrakennettua nimiavaruutta:


 * 16 "real" namespaces, corresponding to actual pages, numbered 0 to 15, and grouped in subject/talk pairs
 * 2 "virtual" namespaces (one for dynamically generated special pages, and one serving as an alias for direct file links), numbered -1 and -2, respectively. Since these namespaces don't correspond to pages stored in the database, one cannot create or delete pages in these namespaces, and there are no corresponding discussion namespaces.

The full list is presented in the table below.

Each namespace also has a constant derived from its name, with all letters in uppercase, spaces replaced by underscores, and prefixed by "NS_". For example, the constant for the "User talk" namespace is NS_USER_TALK. A complete list can be found in.

Custom namespaces
Extensions and site administrators can define additional namespaces to group additional classes of pages together. For a thorough overview, see.

Functionality
Some namespaces, like Project and Help, only exist for convenience and do not have any extra functionality compared to the Main namespace.

Template namespace pages can be transcluded without namespace prefix.

User namespace pages are associated with user accounts or IP addresses. Changes to user talk pages generate an automatic message notification.

Pages in the "MediaWiki" namespace are used to override default messages in language file and can only be edited by administrators or other users with the editinterface permission.

Tiedosto- ja luokka-sivuilla on erityisiä toimintoja, kuten ja. "movefile" -oikeudella olevat käyttäjät voivat siirtää tiedostoja. "move-categorypages" -oikeudella olevat käyttäjät voivat siirtää sivuja.

All pages in discussion namespaces have a "post a comment" feature (see Help:Section#Adding a section at the end on Meta).
