Fiction and Fictional Settings Wiki:Namespaces

Recommended reading: w:Wikipedia:Namespace

I suppose for now the namespaces are, or soon will be will be created are:

While this site and the laws of the country its posted on allow, content posted, my content included, should be done with the understanding that they're in the public domain.


 * Main namespaces are for articles, maybe DABs and the like. If you want to, say, detail your country's geography, history, demography, imports-exports, et al, you might as well put it in them. Ditto religions, histories, economics, character bios, etc. Main namespace articles should be quasi-/pseudo-encyclopedic—though as such, things such as sourcing, notability, and the like are unnecessary.
 * Narration namespaces are, implicitly, for narration. If you just want to narrate stories, the-"It-was-a-dark-and-stormy-night"-stuff, that probably should go into the Narration namespace.

I suppose you generally shouldn't edit other people's work in the aforementioned namespaces, but you can put your questions and the like into the talk pages of such work. Note: While I welcome vigourous criticism of content in talk pages, please no ad hominems. Even if you think a person's work is garbage, he/she/thon might have put his/her/thons heart and soul into it. Your POV is appreciated, but more so if kindly stated. (I myself am a bit of a curmudgeon who hasn't seen any Terminator movie after Judgement Day; think little of Star Trek these days; know nothing about Harry Potter; haven't seen any of the Matrix movies—I'm not sure Rene Descartes would have bothered with these "red" or "blue" pills that are often referred to on the internet—cogito ergo sum, all of that; get bored with Handmaid's Tale fan-fiction that has a lot of Nick, June, and Luke fru-fru; and porn that looks like a 1990s video scripts.)
 * Story namespaces are DAB's-of-sorts for both main and narration namespace entries., implicitly, for narration. If you just want to narrate stories, the-"It-was-a-dark-and-stormy-night"-stuff, that probably should go into the Narration namespace.
 * User namespaces are generally like WP's, though you are allowed more in your user space and its sub-pages.
 * File namespaces: implied, though you might want to upload stuff in Wikicommons as well, maybe to c:Category:Fictional places or its sub-cats such as c:Category:Flags of fictional countries
 * Draft namespaces: if you're unsure whether to put it in a main or narration space or very much incomplete, you might make a draft.
 * Stub namespaces: like drafts, but much shorter—indeed, it might be better to make them a section of the Stub:Main stub page.
 * Essay namespaces: for dealing with real, or somewhat real, maybe serious, stuff.
 * Poetry: I don't know a lot about poetry, but some folks out there seem to—might as well have a namespace for it.
 * Fun: In addition to some of the above fun, I'm making a namespace here.

(and now, have some fun.  :D   )
