Forum:Namespaces

This forum is for the discussion of the addition of namespaces. Before contacting wikia, we must have a consensus first.

What is a namespace?
A namespace is a heading that precedes the title of an article. For example, the about page has the namespace of "Galactic Crucibles" and this page has the namespace of "Forum:". Namespaces are very useful for organizational purposes as a means of distinguishing large groups of articles, as opposed to categories which group together articles about a specific topic.

There cannot be any existing articles that have the heading before the namespace is implemented. We'll have to temporarily rename any stories that have "Story:" in the title. Neglecting to do so may result in the disappearance of articles with no means to get them back. If you are renaming an article for the namespace, I would highly recommend creating a backup.

List of custom namespaces
Only three custom namespaces are allowed. Here are some suggestions as to what they should be.


 * Portal - We can replace "Overview" and "Hub" pages with this. This one is probably the most important.
 * Story - These are distinct enough in format to warrant its own.
 * Guide - We should especially have this for the out of universe guides.
