Proteopedia:Namespaces
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. After any search, you can see a list of namespaces with checkboxes at the bottom of the result page. Which namespaces are searched, by default, for your login, are controlled in your preferences. 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:
- 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.
Pages within a namespace have a colon between the namespace and their title, for example Help:Editing is a page titled Editing within the Help namespace. In addition to formal namespaces, it is possible to group pages in a directory ending in a slash. For example, pages about Molecular Playground are supposed to be within a subdirectory of that name. An example is Molecular Playground/Tamiflu. If a subdirectory name contains multiple words, you can seach for all pages within it by putting double quotes around the name, e.g. "Molecular Playground".
