Template:Ph:Namespace
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aliases:
- for the namespace "Wikipedia": "project" and "wp"
- for the namespace "Wikipedia talk": "wt"
Like all namespace names the aliases are fully case-insensitive. Thus for instance the link wp:help desk leads to Wikipedia:Help desk. Redirects are used for further shortening of the link. To learn more about these "shortcuts", see WP:WP.
The transwiki namespace is a cross-project pseudo-namespace used for temporarily storing articles which need to be moved from one Wikimedia project to another. See transwiki in the Meta-Wiki for a full explanation.
Wikipedia has two customised namespaces:
- {{ns:100}} Portal
- {{ns:101}} Portal_talk
A table namespace was created on the English Wikipedia in May 2007, without special properties. It was removed within a few days after objections. See also bug 2194.
Google does not index pages in namespace 1, see Template:Google_custom#Problem_with_the_Talk:_namespace. To search in this namespace use e.g. AltaVista instead, or with the MediaWiki search feature, use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?ns1=1&fulltext=Search&search=x and replace the x in the URL by the search term.
