Template:Namespace

template

---

This works similar to the magic word {{NAMESPACE}}, which returns the name of whatever namespace it's on (hence it says 'template' right now). All this does is assign new names to those values to make them a little easier to use in template messages.

This table compares the magic word to this template showing what each would display if in those namespaces.

Location	{{NAMESPACE}}	{{namespace}}
Main space	(nothing)	gallery
Commons: pages	Wikilivres	project page
File: pages	File	media file
User: pages	User	user page
Categories	Category	category
Templates	Template	template
System messages	MediaWiki	system message
Any talk page	Talk, User talk, Wikilivres talk, File talk...	talk page

• All other pages are rendered as "page".

See also: {{namespaces}} - for when a plural form is needed.
