Masticationpedia:Namespace

A namespace is a set of pages in this wiki whose names begin with a particular reserved word recognized by the MediaWiki software (followed by a colon). For example, in the user namespace all titles begin with the prefix User:. In the case of the article (or main) namespace, in which Masticationpedia articles appear, the reserved word and colon are absent.

Namespaces allow for the organization and separation of content pages from administration pages. Namespaces separate data into core sets, those intended for public viewing, and those intended for the editing community.

A namespace is sometimes called a space, for short, as in "Project space". A subject page and its talk page form a pair.
