Hey all. I've been a subscriber for a few months and have been trying to learn about Wikis. One catch I have is that I simply have not gotten the concept of "namespace" drummed into my head. I know you can create them, and I've generally read the "help" on MediaWiki regarding namespaces, but I guess I'm just not cluing in on why they are useful and why I might want to create different ones (other than the defaults) on a wiki. Why are we separating different wiki pages out into different namespaces??
I'm not asking for anyone here to write me a big treatise on them; but if anyone can refer me to some online source that might have a good explanation, I'd appreciate it.
Sorry the question is so general. Maybe it's too general to answer. I just think that this is just one of those basic concepts I've got to get a handle on before I can understand mediawiki.
Thanks
