Articles with no ":" in their name are in the main namespace. This namespace is for articles; documents that aren't directly related to this may go in other namespaces. When articles are in another namespace, they are specified as namespace:article; i.e. this page is Help:Namespaces.

- Information about this wiki; i.e. policies that apply here. This namespace also has an alias, which is the name of the wiki installation.
- Help
- Documentation about working with the wiki software. This could be mirrored from outside sites, or locally written.
- User
- For personal notes. Each User has a corresponding user page for their own information. Users can also create subpages, by using a "/" after their name.
- Talk
- Each page has a corresponding discussion page. This can be used for feedback/comments about that page, or other local notes that another group may want to associate with the page, without modifying the document directly, or for any other additional information to associate with the document.
