<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;larr; [[Help: Contents]]&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> The MediaWiki software powering OpenVistA Wiki provides fifteen &#039;&#039;&#039;namespaces&#039;&#039;&#039;. A namespace is a &quot;zone&quot; that contains specific types of wiki content.<br /> <br /> ==Regular namespaces==<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;main namespace&#039;&#039;&#039; is the zone for the actual pages of the OpenVistA Wiki. It contains no prefix, and pages in this namespace are created simply by creating &lt;nowiki&gt;[[links]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;.<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;OpenVistA Wiki:&#039;&#039;&#039; namespace is the namespace for pages pertaining to the project. These pages might sometimes be referred to as &quot;meta&quot; pages.<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;User:&#039;&#039;&#039; namespace is set aside for personalized pages pertaining to the OpenVistA Wiki contributors. This may include personal presentations, scratch pages, rough drafts, and archives of content. It is &#039;&#039;not&#039;&#039; intended for use as personal webspace. (See [[OpenVistA Wiki:What OpenVistA Wiki is not|What OpenVistA Wiki is not]].)<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;Help:&#039;&#039;&#039; namespace is for pages that provide guidance for using the MediaWiki software.<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;Image:&#039;&#039;&#039; namespace is created for [[OpenVistA Wiki:image description page|image description page]]s that provide information concerning images. (This also applies to other kinds of media, such as sounds and movies.)<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;Special:&#039;&#039;&#039; namespace is a namespace consisting solely of pages that are created by the MediaWiki software on demand (i.e. [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]]). These pages can be linked using the usual method, except when parameters are required (then the full URL must be used).<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;Template:&#039;&#039;&#039; namespace is used to create customizable sections of text that can be included in multiple articles. The are included using the &lt;nowiki&gt;{{template}}&lt;/nowiki&gt; markup. (See [[Help:Template|Template]]s.)<br /> * The &#039;&#039;&#039;MediaWiki:&#039;&#039;&#039; namespace is used to contain text clippings that allow customization of the wiki&#039;s user interface. Pages in this namespace may only be edited by the [[OpenVistA Wiki:administrators|administrators]].<br /> <br /> ==Talk namespaces==<br /> Each namespace (except for Special:) also has an associated &#039;&#039;&#039;Talk:&#039;&#039;&#039; namespace linked to it. These pages are set aside for discussion of the articles as necessary. Examples of the most frequently used Talk namespaces are:<br /> <br /> * Talk:<br /> * OpenVistA Wiki talk:<br /> * User talk:<br /> * Image talk:<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;See also:&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Help:Talk page|Talk page]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Hilfe:Namespace]]</div>
