Wikimedia help or project page about division of a wiki into namespaces
A namespace is a way to organize different types of pages on a wiki by dividing them into separate categories, such as pages for articles, discussion pages, help pages, and project pages. This system helps keep wikis organized and makes it clear what purpose each page serves.

A Wikipedia namespace is a set of Wikipedia pages whose names begin with a reserved word, followed by a colon. The reserved word is recognized by the MediaWiki software. For example, in the user namespace all titles begin with the prefix User:. In the case of the article (or main) namespace, in which encyclopedia articles appear, the reserved word and colon are absent. (Note: main space articles can optionally include a colon at the beginning with no reserved word, so [[Article]] and [[:Article]] are equivalent. This is usually only necessary for the advanced technique of transcluding a main space article into a page in another namespace.)
More generally, a Wikipedia namespace is a class of pages that falls under a common type. All pages in the User namespace, for example, are user pages, whereas Drafts are in the Draft namespace. This page is in the Wikipedia namespace, for information or discussions about the project itself and its policies.
