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	The main namespace; no prefix, or optionally a colon (this is needed when using a page here as template).
{{ns:1}}	{{ns:talk}}	Talk	disabled	This and the following odd-numbered namespaces are used to contain discussion about pages in the corresponding even-numbered namespaces; see here for more.
{{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	The canonical location for leaving messages for a particular user.
{{ns:4}}	{{ns:project}}	Citizendium Pilot	disabled	Used for working on policy and documentation during the early stages of the project; all content has been moved to the CZ namespace now.
{{ns:5}}	{{ns:project_talk}}	Citizendium Pilot Talk	disabled
{{ns:6}}	{{ns:image}}	File	disabled	Holds images and other uploaded files, with image description pages (list: Special:Imagelist).
