Help:Namespace

Many namespaces can be linked to within the Dothack Info.

Complete list of namespaces

Namespace	Purpose	Example
(main)	Contains all the articles about .hack	.hack
Talk	Contains discussion pages about the articles in the main namespace, one for each main-namespace page.	Talk:Tsukasa
User	Contains user pages - one page (and possibly subpages) for each user – see DW:Userspace.	User:Erroneous
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:Erroneous
DW	Contains pages that are specifically about the wiki, rather than Mario - behind-the-scenes administration and similar things.	DW:About
DW talk	Discussions about the DWi pages, one for each DW page (similar to Talk).	DW talk:Userspace
Image/Media/File	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:Dhn circle.png
File talk	Same as Talk, but for the files.	File talk:Dothack-info customlogo transparent ver2.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.	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:Games Tetralogy Navbox
Template talk	Same as Talk, for the templates.	Template talk:IMOQ Color Guide
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:categoryname]] to any page will put it in that category. Like with Image, you can use [[:Category:categoryname]] to link to a category.	Category:Games
Category talk	Same as Talk, for the categories.	Category talk:Games
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:Tsukasa
Gallery talk	Same as Talk, for Galleries.	Gallery talk:Tsukasa
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:

• IMDb: to link to the Internet Movie Database: IMDb:tt0361140
• Wikipedia: for Wikipedia: wikipedia:Main Page
• Most of the Interwiki Map is also supported
