CZ:Namespaces

[edit intro]

For more about Namespaces, please see the help page on Wikimedia.

You can use the drop-down menu on this page to list the active namespaces on Citizendium.

Our namespaces

Note that the number of pages in each namespace may not be displayed on all MediaWiki projects, because this counting feature may be disabled): on this Wiki, per-namespace page counting is currently disabled.

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).
{{ns:7}}	{{ns:image_talk}}	File talk	disabled
{{ns:8}}	{{ns:mediawiki}}	MediaWiki	disabled	System messages are here (list: Special:Allmessages), editable by users, or if protected, only by sysops.
{{ns:9}}	{{ns:mediawiki_talk}}	MediaWiki talk	disabled
{{ns:10}}	{{ns:template}}	Template	disabled	The default namespace for templates: the wikitext code {{name}} refers to and includes the page Template:name. Currently, also holds the 'metadata' about articles, and image credit information.
{{ns:11}}	{{ns:template_talk}}	Template talk	disabled
{{ns:12}}	{{ns:help}}	Help	disabled	Normally used for user documentation on most projects running MediaWiki; mostly unused here.

{{ns:14}}	{{ns:category}}	Category	disabled	Each page (list: Special:Categories) represents a category of pages, with each category page displaying a list of pages in that category along with optional additional text.
