Our namespaces

The namespaces on Citizendium are:

Variables	Alternate syntax	Name, linked to list of all such pages	Nr. of pages	Notes
{{ns:-2}}	{{ns:media}}	"Media"		pseudo-namespace for images and other files themselves, as opposed to the image description pages; see also below
{{ns:-1}}	{{ns:special}}	"Special"		pseudo-namespace for special pages (list: Special:Specialpages)
{{ns:0}}		main	disabled	main namespace, no prefix, or optionally a colon (this is needed when using the page as template)
{{ns:1}}	{{ns:talk}}	Talk	disabled	see this page for this and the following odd-numbered namespaces
{{ns:2}}	{{ns:user}}	User	disabled	registered users (list: Special:Listusers) have a user homepage User:username (linked to by the system from user names in lists of edits, e.g. on page histories, and from signatures on talk pages); this and subpages of it can be used to present oneself, for project-related bookmarks, and for drafts, tests, and other working material. One can put here material to give oneself one-step access to it from any page in the same project, and one can put here links to give oneself two-step access to the link targets from any page in the same project as the user page.
{{ns:3}}	{{ns:user_talk}}	User talk	disabled
