Help:Namespaces

Many namespaces can be linked to within the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki 2.

Complete List of Namespaces

Namespace	Purpose	Example
(main)	Contains all the articles and fanstuff	Main Page
Talk	Contains discussion pages about the articles in the main namespace, one for each main-namespace page.	Talk:Main Page
User	Contains user pages - one page (and possibly subpages) for each user – see HRFWiki2:User space.	User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc
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:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc
HRFWiki2	Contains pages that are specifically about the wiki.	HRFWiki2:Wiki Stuff
HRFWiki2 talk	Discussions about the HRFWiki2 pages, one for each HRFWiki2 page (similar to Talk).	HRFWiki2 talk:Wiki Stuff
File	When a file is uploaded it goes into the File namespace. A link labeled [[File:filename]] or [[Image:filename]] will include the image in a page; clicking on it will go to an information page. [[:File:filename]] will be a normal text link to that information page.	File:HRFWikiLogo2.png
File talk	Same as Talk, but for files.	File talk:onion bubs.png
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 sysops 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 Image talk - the MediaWiki pages are relatively static.	None as of yet
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:stub
Template talk	Same as Talk, for the templates.	Template talk:randomquote
Help	Contains pages designed to help people learn how to use the wiki.	Help:Editing
Help talk	Same as Talk, for Help pages.	Help talk:Namespaces
Category	These pages don't have much content; rather, they are used to group other pages. Adding [[Category:categoryname]] to any page will put it in that category. Like with Image, you can use [[:Category:categoryname]] to link to a category.	Category:Stubs
Category talk	Same as Talk, for the categories.	None as of yet
Special	This doesn't actually contain editable pages, but rather automated scripts, for various purposes such as the watchlist 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.
