Pages on the FlightGear wiki are grouped into different namespaces. Pages in different namespaces have different uses. Pages in some namespaces interact with other pages in special ways.
Namespaces are indicated in the article name prefix, for example Help:Contents.
Pages in the main, or article namespace do not have a prefix.
Regular namespaces
(Main)
The main namespace contain the articles on the wiki.
Files

Category
Contains the category pages which lists all the pages in a category, in essence all the pages with the same category tag, for example [[Category:Help]]
. These are linked together in a somewhat hierarchical fashion.

User
User pages where users can present themselves, have to-do lists, sandbox pages etc.
Help
Help pages like the one you are reading now.
Special
