A Namespace is a method of classifying wiki pages based on their subject matter. Unlike categories, namespaces are included in the page's title with the format namespace:pagename. By default, newly-created pages are generated in the 'main' namespace (i.e. no text before the page title). All namespaces also have a corresponding "talk" namespace for page discussion.

Soyjak Wiki Namespaces

These namespaces were manually added to the 'ki by administrators.

• SNCA: Shit Nobody Cares About. This namespace was added under the Cobblestone administration as a way to broaden the scope of the 'ki, and is meant to encompass subjects that aren't directly related to the soysphere. Pages are often created in the main namespace, then moved to the SNCA namespace when deemed NAS.
• Soyjak Wiki: This namespace contains pages that concern the 'ki itself. Examples include the wiki rules, beginner guides, funny janny-ralds and this very page itself (WAOW WHAT AN EPIC FOURTH WALL META REFERENCE!)
• Tag: linked to the corresponding tag on SoyBooru. For example, if you click on the "?" icon on the 'soyak' tag on the 'ru, you will be directed to Tag:Variant:soyak. This feature was added as part of the Nuuru implementation.

Default Namespaces

These namespaces are included automatically in websites, such as this one, that run on MediaWiki. When searching, you need to enter both the namespace and the page title; for example, to get to Template:Frogtext, you need to actually type in "template:frogtext" instead of just "frogtext". For a more comprehensive list, check out the MediaWiki documentation.

• User: User pages, obviously. Note that pages about users (when applicable) are different from the user pages themselves.
• Template: see the template article. Pages within this namespace are protected^🔒, meaning that you cannot edit them without being approved to do so by moderators.
• File: self-explanatory. Whenever you upload a file, a page for it is automatically generated in this namespace.
• Special: a namespace for interactive pages, such as Special:Log or Special:RecentChanges.
• Image: Alias of the File namespace.
• Media: Alias of the File namespace. When used, this inserts the link to the file itself, rather than the file's page. For example, see Media:Coinslot HD.jpg.
