Some common custom namespaces
While custom namespaces can be used to organize anything, there are some namespaces communities often request. While you are not limited to these, they illustrate some typical uses:
- Portal: A typical gaming namespace that functions as a point of access to similar information on the wiki.
- News: Communities that want to publish official press releases about their topic from game creators, movie studios, etc., etc.,
- Gallery: For pages meant to solely house an image gallery about a community's topic.
