QED has several namespaces arranged in pairs: a primary namespace and its associated namespace for discussion, for example:

  • the main namespace, which is unnamed, and its pair, Talk:
  • User: and User talk:
  • Project: and Project talk:

QED content is divided into namespaces for several reasons, for example:

  • One can define access restrictions on a namespace-by-namespace basis without the need for access control lists;
  • One can easily restrict searches using the Search facility to any set of namespaces;

Creating a new page in a specific namespace

To create a new page in a specific namespace other than the main one, write in sequence the name of the namespace, a colon (":"), and the page name. For example:

With the search box wikitext
Princeton:My Page [[Princeton:My Page]]

Miscellaneous

Some other important points about namespaces are:

  • The number of namespaces can be increased.
  • As a rule, except for anonymous users, read-access in a primary namespace implies both read and write privileges in the corresponding discussion namespace.
