View source for Help:Namespaces

A '''namespace''' is the prefix to a page name. 
<br /><br />
For example, the namespace for this article is '''help''', since it is part of the Help articles that are documentations of this Wiki. The namespace is separated from the article name by a colon (:), and '''no space'''.
