You don't need to create namespaces separately; simply create pages with colons in the pagename. The token after the last colon will be the name of the page itself, while all other tokens are namespaces. All namespaces used in your pagename that don't exist already will be created by the Wiki automatically.
| Examples: | |
|---|---|
| example | refers to the page “example” in the current namespace. |
| :example | refers to the page “example” in the root namespace. |
| wiki:example | refers to the page “example” in the namespace “wiki”. The namespace “wiki” is located beneath the root namespace. |
| ns1:ns2:example | refers to the page “example” in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located beneath the root namespace. |
| :ns1:ns2:example | same as above. |
| .ns1:ns2:example | refers to the page “example” in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located beneath the current namespace. |
When all pages inside a namespace are removed the namespace logically doesn’t exist anymore. The Wiki usually deletes the now empty directory as well.
