Many namespaces can be linked to within the Homestar Runner Wiki.
Complete list of namespaces
| Namespace | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (main) | Contains all the articles about Homestar Runner | 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 page. | 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 Homestar Runner - 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 |
Image and Media | When a file is uploaded (even if it's not an image) it goes into the Image namespace. A link labelled [[Image:filename]] will include the image in a page, clicking on it will go to an information page. [[:Image:filename]] will be a normal text link to that information page and [[Media:filename]] a direct link straight to the file | Image:logo.png Media:logo.png |
Image talk | Same as Talk, but for the images. Not regularly used on this wiki. | Image 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 {{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. This is also sometimes used to put a template into a category, without putting all pages the template is used on into a category (which would happen if the category link was put on the template itself). | 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 [[Category:categoryname]] to any page will put it in that category. Like with Image, you can use [[:Category:categoryname]] to link to a category. | Category:Games |
Category talk | Same as Talk, for the categories. | Category talk:Main Characters |
Special | This doesn't actually contain editable pages, but rather automated scripts, for various purposes such as the watch list and recent changes. It also has important pages for the maintenance of the wiki. | Special:Specialpages |
Interwiki Links
Although interwiki prefixes are not namespaces, you can use the namespace style to link to pages on other sites:
