Help:Namespaces

From Wikimanqala

Page titles in MediaWiki are composed of two parts: first an optional namespace name ending with a colon, and then the remainder of the title. For example, this page has the title Help:Namespace, so it belongs to the Help namespace. A title without a colon, for example oware, is in the main namespace. If a page title contains a colon, but the initial part of the title is not one of the pre-defined namespaces, that page is considered to be in the main namespace.

Namespaces allow a separation of content from policy (wikimanqala pages), images (image pages) and discussion (talk pages). They encourage separation of the pages of a wiki into a core set intended for public viewing, and private information intended for the editing community.

Any user can see all of them, but non logged in users can not see the links to the talk pages.
