- Namespaces can have aliases (ex. File: and Image:)
- Special: is for pages that has fixed functionality, Editing is NOT possible here.
- Every namespace has a talk version; Talk User talk,...
Subpages
- Postfixes, seperated from title bt slash "/"
- Not all postfixes after "/" are subpages!
- Enable for certain namespaces
- By default only for User and all Talk pages
