<p><b>New page</b></p><div>MediaWiki provides many features beyond hyperlinks for structuring content. One of the earliest features is ''[[namespace]]s''. One of Wikipedia's earliest problems had been the separation of encyclopedic content from pages pertaining to maintenance and communal discussion, as well as personal pages about encyclopedia editors. Namespaces are prefixes before a page title (such as "<code>User:</code>" or "<code>Talk:</code>") that serve as descriptors for the page's purpose and allow multiple pages with different functions to exist under the same title. For instance, a page titled "<code><nowiki>[[The Terminator]]</nowiki></code>", in the default namespace, could describe [[The Terminator|the 1984 movie]] starring [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], while a page titled "<code><nowiki>[[User:The Terminator]]</nowiki></code>" could be a profile describing a user who chooses this name as a pseudonym. More commonly, each page and each namespace has an associated "<code>Talk:</code>" page, which can be used to discuss its contents, such as "<code>User talk:</code>" or "<code>Template talk:</code>". The purpose of having discussion pages is to allow content to be separated from discussion surrounding the content.<ref>{{cite book |title=Enterprise 2. 0 Implementation |author=Newman, Aaron, Adam Steinberg, and Jeremy Thomas |page=185 |publisher=McGraw-Hill Professional |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-07-159160-7}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=Multi-Stakeholder Governance and the Internet Governance Forum |author=Malcolm, Jeremy |pages=188, 280 |publisher=Terminus Press |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-9805084-0-6}}</ref><br />

Namespaces can be viewed as [[file folder|folders]] that separate different basic types of information or functionality. Custom namespaces can be added by the site administrators. There are 16 namespaces by default for content, with 2 "pseudo-namespaces" used for dynamically generated "<code>Special:</code>" pages and links to media files. Each namespace on MediaWiki is numbered: content page namespaces have even numbers and their associated talk page namespaces have odd numbers.<ref>{{cite book|title=Wiki |author=Ebersbach, Anja, Markus Glaser, Richard Heigl, and Gunter Dueck |pages=55, 80–82, 109, 120–121, 156 |publisher=Springer |year=2006 |isbn=978-3-540-25995-4}}</ref><br />
