Namespaces

Pages on NSwiki can have the same names, but different namespaces. A namespace is a prefix in front of the name. A name with no prefix is in the (default) article namespace. Pages in that namespace have a white background. All other pages have a yellowish background and are "community pages". For instance, the "Talk:" prefix is for pages discussing articles; the "NSwiki:" prefix is for pages about NSwiki's policies, FAQs, etc.

When to use subpages

Subpages are pages which are separated with a "/" from their mother page, for example, NSwiki:Deletion log/Archive. When you visit a subpage you will see an automatic backlink to the mother page. Subpages are allowed in the User:, Talk: and NSwiki: namespaces, and with care and forethought may also be used in the main namespace. Plan your subpages beforehand. You don't want to build a subpage structure too deep, as it makes it harder for others to link to relevant pages. Subpages can be useful for organizing and archiving content. You can create a subpage by typing [[/Name]] on the page in question, and if you end the link with a slash - [[/Name/]] - the slashes are hidden in the output.
