For this wiki, please use the following namespaces
  * [[wiki:|Wiki:]] meta information namespace
  * [[FAQ:|FAQ:]]
  * [[Guides:|Guides:]] Information on how to use selected software and hardware.

       * [[cscurriculum:|cscurriculum:]] information and storage.

==== Using Namespaces ====

Namespaces in the wiki allow different pages to have the same name.  Just the same as in a programming languages.

Namespaces can have nested namespaces.

To create a namespace just use the namespace:
    - Example Guides    guides:
      - **guides:start** is the start page in this namespace
      - **guides:software:** is a nested namespace
      - **guides:software:start** is the default page in this namespace
      - **guides:software:overview** is the //overview// page in //guides:software//

I don't have any real guidance for creating namespaces, but the more the merrier is my general philosophy.


The wiki creates namespaces using a colon in the link.
