Namespace[edit]

Need to change Project namespace to IOTWiki From MediWiki Documentation Page titles in MediaWiki are composed of two parts: an optional namespace name, and the remainder of the title. For example, this page has the title Help:Namespace, so it is in the Help namespace. A title without a colon, for example Goings-on, is in the main namespace.

By default, a wiki using the MediaWiki software has 18 namespaces, including:

the main namespace, where page names have no prefix 15 additional namespaces, each with its own prefix. (Two namespaces, the so-called 'project' namespaces, get their names from the name of the wiki project, and so differ in name from one wiki to the next; on the Wikipedia, they are called Wikipedia: and Wikipedia talk:. On each wiki, these project namespaces (whatever they may happen to be for that wiki), can be referred to by the pseudonyms "Project:" and "Project Talk:", respectively.) two virtual namespaces In addition to these 18 namespaces, the Wikipedia specially adds to these the Portal: and Portal talk: namespaces. Other wiki projects may have their own additional custom namespaces.

But take note:

Namespace prefixes should not be confused with prefixes for interwiki linking. If a page title contains a colon, but the initial part of the title is not one of the pre-defined namespaces, that page is considered to be in the main namespace
