View source for TIW:Namespace

A TIW '''namespace''' is a set of Wikipedia pages whose [[wikipedia:Help:page name|names]] begin with a particular reserved word recognized by the [[wikipedia:MediaWiki|MediaWiki]] software (followed by a colon). For example, in the ''user namespace'' all titles begin with the prefix ''User:''. TIW namespaces work very similarly to [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Namespace|Wikipedia namespaces]].

== Subject Namespaces ==

These are the current namespaces. More may be added as needed,  such as for the Connections Museum Denver inventory.

* '''Main namespace''' (no prefix): contains articles about worldwide telecommunications technology, history, series, models, etc. This information is meant to apply to any given instance of the subject matter.
* '''Connections Museum Seattle namespace''' (prefix '''CMS:'''): contains inventory articles for the Connections Museum in Seattle. This information is meant to be specific to inventoried items at the Connections Museum. General information should not be included in this namespace.
* '''Telecommunications Inventory Wiki namespace''' (prefix '''TIW:'''): contains pages connected to the wiki itself, like this one.
* '''[[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Portal namespace|Portal namespace]]''' (prefix '''Portal:'''): for reader-oriented portals that help readers find articles related to a specific topic
* '''[[wikipedia:Wikipedia:User namespace|User namespace]]''' (prefix '''User:'''): contains user pages and other pages created by individual users for their own personal use. Pages under this namespace can still be viewed and modified by others, so do not keep any of your sensitive data here.
