NamespacesNamespaces
In addition to its regular articles (which represent the vast majority of its content), Proteopedia contains subsections called namespaces. (Actually, regular articles are in the namespace Main.) Namespaces are formal regions within the wiki that are assigned by administrators.
Searches can be restricted to a subset of namespaces. After any search, you can see a list of namespaces, with checkboxes, at the bottom of the result page. Your preferences control which namespaces are searched, by default, for your login. However, by checking or unchecking the namespaces at the bottom of any search result, and then clicking on the Search button near the list of namespaces, you can re-run the search for any specified subset of namespaces.
Proteopedia contains the following namespaces. You can display all pages within one of these namespaces by clicking on the link below.
- Users: All user pages with content or the list of all registered users.
- Proteopedia: includes About, Namespaces, Policy, Troubleshooting, Problems, Wishlist, and Topic Pages.
- Image: includes all files that have been uploaded to Proteopedia.
- Mediawiki: includes technical support pages.
- Template: includes all templates (there are many!). A template is generally some wikitext content that is designed to be included in other pages.
- Help: includes help pages that were created within the Help namespace.
- Category: All category pages with content or the list of all automatically-generated categories.
- Journal: includes pages belonging to specific journals.
