Namespaces

DokuWiki supports so called namespaces to seperate different types of content in the wiki. For example all information about DokuWiki is in the wiki namespace. Namespaces are created by colons in the pagename.

If there is no colon in a linked pagename the current namespace is assumed. You can escape to the default namespace by prepending a colon to the pagename. Here are some examples:

• DokuWiki links to wiki:dokuwiki
• DokuWiki links to wiki:dokuwiki
• start links to wiki:start
• start links to wiki:start
• start links to start

  * [[DokuWiki]] links to ''wiki:dokuwiki''
  * [[wiki:DokuWiki]] links to ''wiki:dokuwiki''
  * [[wiki:start]] links to ''wiki:start''
  * [[start]] links to ''wiki:start''
  * [[:start]] links to ''start''
