Help:Namespace
From WWR
A namespace is an abstract container. The MediaWiki software, upon which the Whole Wheat Radio website runs, uses namespaces to distinguish different kinds of data. By being able to distinguish data in this way, specific functions are applied to the various namespaces. For instance the Image namespace handles uploaded images by making the upload interface available to users, displaying an image file specfic type of page for image files, and helps determine how images display on pages.
Users can determine which into which namespace any page resides by reading the title of a page. The part of the page title before the colon is the namespace of the page. Any pages which do not have a word(s) followed by a colon in the title reside in the Main namespace.
