New page

Many namespaces can be [[Help:Links|linked to]] within the Homestar Runner Wiki.

== Complete List of Namespaces ==

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|-
! Namespace
! Purpose
! Example
|-
| (main)
| Contains all the articles about the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.
| [[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 [[HRWiki:User space]].
| [[User:JoeyDay]]
|-
| 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:JoeyDay]]
|-
| HRWiki
| Contains pages that are specifically about the wiki, rather than the Homestar Runner body of work—behind-the-scenes administration and similar things.
| [[HRWiki:The Stick]]
|-
| HRWiki talk
| Discussions about the HRWiki pages, one for each HRWiki page (similar to Talk).
| [[HRWiki talk:Standards]]
|-
| File and Media
| When a file is uploaded, it goes into the File namespace. A link labeled [[File: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 and [[Media:filename]] a direct link straight to the file. This namespace used to be called Image (which still works as an alias).
| File:logo.png<br />[/w/images/1/1b/logo.png Media:logo.png]
|-
| File talk
| Same as Talk, but for files.
| [[File talk:HRWikiPuzzle.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:Sitenotice]]
|-
| 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 [[Help:Template|{{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:done]]
|-
| 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:Contents]]
|-
| Category
| These pages don't have much content; rather, they are used to group other pages. Adding to any page will put it in that category. Like with Image, you can use [[:Category:categoryname]] to link to a category.
|
|-
| Category talk
| Same as Talk, for the categories.
| [[Category talk:Main Characters]]
|-
| STUFF
| Obsolete. This namespace contained the pages used in [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]] before it was decommissioned.
|
|-
| Subtitles
| Contains the XML data used for the [[HRWiki:Subtitles|subtitles project]].
| [[Subtitles:intro/en]]
|-
| Subtitles talk
| Same as Talk, for discussing the subtitles scripts.
| [[Subtitles talk:Characters]]
|-
| Special
| This doesn't actually contain editable pages, but rather automated scripts, for various purposes such as the watch list and [/wiki/Special:RecentChanges recent changes]. It also has important pages for the maintenance of the wiki.
| [/wiki/Special:SpecialPages Special:Specialpages]
|}

=== Namespace aliases ===

The following namespaces have aliases. These can be used as [[Template:shortcut|shortcuts]].

{| class="wikitable"
|-

|-
| HRWiki
| HRW
| [[HRWiki:TS|HRW:TS]]
|-
| HRWiki talk

| [[HRWiki talk:MOS|HRWT:MOS]]
|-
| Special
| SP
| [/wiki/Special:RecentChanges SP:RC]
|}

== Interwiki Links ==
