Help:Namespaces

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

Complete List of Namespaces

Namespace	Purpose	Example
(main)	Contains all the articles about the 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 [/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|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 STUFF before it was decommissioned.
Subtitles	Contains the XML data used for the 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]
