-=== Types of pages ===
-In addition there are several types of pages.  These different types of pages are usually separated in different ''namespaces'':
-:; Articles
-:: Pages in the main namespace, making up the most of the wikis content.
-;; Files
-:: Generally images used to illustrate the wiki.
-:; Categories
-:: Grouping together pages with similar content in a somewhat hierarchical fashion.
-:; Templates
-:: That are used when the wiki editors either want content to be presented in a consistent manner or to lessen the amount of typing needed for common things like repository links etc.
-:; User pages
-:: Where users can present themselves, have to-do lists etc.
-:; Discussion pages
-:: These are used for discussions about the wiki, individual pages and with users.
-:; Portals
-:; Howto pages
-:; Help pages
-:: Like the one you are reading now.
-It may not be obvious at first, but pages in these namespaces are used in different ways, many of them are for example linked to in very different ways.
