Help:Namespace

From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search

Many namespaces can be linked to within the Super Mario Wiki.

List of namespaces

Namespace Purpose Example
(main) Contains all the articles about Super Mario and related series. Mario
Talk Contains discussion pages about the articles in the main namespace, one for each article. Talk:Luigi
User Contains user pages; one page (and possibly subpages) for each user. See MarioWiki:Userspace. User:Porplemontage
User talk Contains pages used to discuss things specifically with other users; add a message to the user talk page of the user you want to contact. User talk:Porplemontage
MarioWiki Contains pages that are specifically about the wiki, rather than Super Mario; behind-the-scenes administration and similar things. MarioWiki:About
MarioWiki talk Discussions about the MarioWiki pages, one for each MarioWiki page (similar to Talk). MarioWiki talk:Userspace
File / Media When a file is uploaded, it goes into the File namespace. A link labelled [[File:filename]] will include the media in a page, clicking on it will go to an information page. [[:File:filename]] will be a normal text link to that information page and [[Media:filename]] a direct link straight to the file File:Yidscreen7.jpg
Media:SMB Overworld Theme.oga
File:SMK Mario Circuit 1 Playthrough.ogv
File talk Same as Talk, but for the files. File talk:Yidscreen7.jpg
MediaWiki Contains pages that control some part of how the wiki functions, and all the messages displayed by the wiki (so that users of the MediaWiki software can translate them). Only administrators can edit these pages, but anyone can make suggestions on the MediaWiki talk pages. MediaWiki:Common.css
MediaWiki talk Same as Talk, for MediaWiki pages. Used even less often than File talk; the MediaWiki pages are relatively static. MediaWiki talk:Sitenotice
Template Contains pages that are intended to be included in another page with {{curly braces}}. If you use the curly braces and don't specify a namespace, the templates will come from here. Template:Goombas
Template talk Same as Talk, for the templates. Template talk:Super Mario games
Help Contains pages designed to help people learn how to use the wiki. Help:Contents
Help talk Same as Talk, for Help pages. Help talk:Chat
Category These pages don't have much content, rather they are used to group other pages. Adding [[Category:Category name]] to any page will put it in that category. Like with Image, you can use [[:Category:Category name]] to link to a category. Category:Games
Category talk Same as Talk, for the categories. Category talk:Felines
PipeProject The PipeProject namespace is reserved to organize projects to improve the wiki. PipeProject:New games
PipeProject talk Same as Talk, for the PipeProjects. PipeProject talk:Mario Kart
Gallery When subjects have large amounts of relevant images, they are outsourced to separate gallery pages to shorten the lengths and loading times of the parent articles. Gallery:Bowser
Gallery talk Same as Talk, for Galleries. Gallery talk:Princess Peach
The 'Shroom Pages used for The 'Shroom. The 'Shroom:Issue 100
The 'Shroom talk Same as Talk, for The 'Shroom. The 'Shroom talk:Main Page
Multimedia When subjects have large amounts of relevant media files, they are outsourced to separate multimedia pages to shorten the lengths and loading times of the parent articles. Multimedia:Mario Paint
Multimedia talk Same as Talk, for Multimedia pages. Multimedia talk:Super Mario 64
Widget Widgets allow custom HTML to be embedded onto the wiki and are managed exclusively by the proprietor. Widget:YouTube
Widget talk Same as Talk, for Widget pages. Widget talk:YouTube
Module Modules are like templates but are created using the Lua programming language. Module:PM item
Module talk Same as Talk, for Module pages. Module talk:Foreign names
Map Interactive data maps which are transcluded like templates. Map:MKWorld
Map talk Same as Talk, for Map pages. Map talk:MKWorld
Special This doesn't actually contain editable pages, but rather automated scripts, for various purposes such as the watch list and recent changes. It also has important pages for the maintenance of the wiki. Special:SpecialPages

Interwiki links

Although interwiki prefixes are not namespaces, you can use the namespace style to link to pages on other sites:

  • wikipedia: for Wikipedia: wikipedia:Main Page
  • See Special:Interwiki for a complete list of interwiki prefixes
