Angelina Jordan Wiki:Namespaces

From Angelina Jordan Wiki

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).

Namespaces on the Angelina Jordan Wiki
No. Name/Prefix Alias Purpose Corresponding discussion namespace
No. Name/Prefix Alias
-2 Media allows linking directly to uploaded media files (not going through the corresponding "File:" pages) — usually not necessary (no corresponding discussion namespace)
-1 Special special pages (no corresponding discussion namespace, so AJWT:Special pages can be used for that purpose)
0 the so-called "main" namespace: articles about Angelina and associated topics (targets of non-prefixed [[wikilinks]]) 1 Talk
2 User pages that logged-in users can use to describe themselves, link to other websites where they have an online presence, talk about their first experience hearing Angelina, or whatever else seems relevant (no blatant advertising, please, and try to keep discussion relevant to the subject matter of this wiki) 3 User talk

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.
