The Deal on Namespaces
=== The Deal on Namespaces ===
Namepaces are a type in [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Namespace Mediawiki], the software that runs WikiMo. Namespaces are useful for wiki administrators, but can be confusing for editors. Essentially, namespaces create separate content areas or containers on a wiki.Some The namespace format is: Namespace:Page_name. So the https://wiki.mozilla.org/Special:Version is within the Special namespace. The https://wiki.mozilla.org/MozillaWiki:About page is within the MozillaWiki namespace.  '''WikiMo editors without admin privileges cannot add namespaces.''''''By default, new pages on WikiMo have this format are created within the Main namespace.''' Going back to our example of the local Maker Party page, if you were to add the page like so, Project:PageLocal_Maker_Project, you would not be creating a new namespace, just a page whose URL has a colon within the Main namespace. Currently, WikiMo has over 50 namespaces. There was a trend to create namespaces for projects like Bugzilla and Gecko. Going forward, wiki admins will not be adding more namespaces. If you want to group pages of a project together you can create subpages. === How to Create a Subpage ===
