View source for Angelina Jordan Wiki:Namespaces

The following '''namespaces''' exist on this wiki. Note that except for two special types, each type of namespace (having an even number) has an associated "talk page" or "discussion" namespace (the next odd number). Each namespace name/prefix is linked to a list of pages in that namespace (except in the two cases where the link is in the "Purpose" column).

== Notes ==

* All namespace prefixes are completely case-insensitive. Thus links to [[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]], [[Mediawiki:Sitenotice]], [[mediawiki:Sitenotice]] and even [[mediaWiki:Sitenotice]] all lead to the same page (but the first link is the "correct" one). [[MediaWiki:SiteNotice]], on the other hand, is a different page, because only the first letter of page titles are case-insensitive (so the capital "N" is causing it to be a different page).
* Similarly, namespace aliases are also completely case-insensitive, so [[AJW:Namespaces]], [[Ajw:Namespaces]] and [[ajw:Namespaces]] all lead to this page (which is why the links that otherwise would have just been displayed are turned into unlinked bold text — that's how MediaWiki handles links from a page to itself).
* The shorter prefix aliases can be used when searching the wiki. The autocomplete feature supports them, so, for example, you can type "ajw:n" into the search box and see this page come up in the suggestions.
