MEpedia:Namespaces
From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history
All articles and pages on MEpedia belong to a namespace. Simply put, a namespace is a prefix to the page name, such as "Help:", "MEpedia:" or "Category:". If you don't see a prefix in the page name, then the page belongs in the "Main" namespace. Each namespace also has a corresponding "Talk" namespace for discussion pages.
