[WikiEN-l] quick question: different policies for different namespaces?

[Luna]

I don't believe there's any individual page which describes these
differences, but many policy  and guideline pages either describe their
relation to various namespaces, or make their relationships obvious, by
their very nature ([[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines]] as an obvious
example).

Talk pages and articles are obviously subject to vastly different attitudes
and policies. The extent to which the same is true of project space is
probably a bit of an open question. Talk, use common sense, find common
ground (sounds so easy!).

Mebbe I should go and have a look at that, though. Sounds interesting.
