Okay, fair question which leads into terms you'll need to know for being an Admin… Pages on wikis are each part of a "space"—think of sections, aisles, and shelves in grocery stores—known collectively as "namespace", with "name" being for Templates, Categories, User, and similar, each with their own Talk pages. The majority of the articles are located in Mainspace. Since "mainspace" is the default for the majority of pages, "main" is not seen in titles the same way "Template" is. Same for "Main Talk", it's only "Talk".

Therefore, one of the requirements of the Adoption process is to make at least 1 NEW (main) article to show that you are helping to grow the wiki. In addition, the majority of your edits need to be substantial and more than comments, talk pages, and message walls(User Talk).
