-==== Namespaces ====
+==== Moving and Renaming Pages ====
-Pages can be made in "namespaces", which are just like folders. These appear in the sitemap, and can help organize pages into categories. For example, the [[about:onboarding|onboarding]] page is in the "about" namespace.
+The Move plugin can rename a page and update references linking to it. See [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:move|the user manual]].
-Create a page in a namespace by linking to the page as follows:
+Go to a page, then mouse over the edit page button. In the drop-down menu that appears, select the rename pages tool to rename the page.
-<code>[[nameofnamespace:pagename|Link Text]]</code>
+==== Namespaces ====
-WARNING: Links must always include the namespace a page is in or else they won't work. In the above case, if the "pagename" page is in the namespace "nameofnamespace", then this link will not work:
+Pages can be made in "namespaces", which are just like folders. These appear in the sitemap, and can help organize pages into categories. For example, the [[about:onboarding|onboarding]] page is in the "about" namespace.
-<code>[[pagename|Link Text]]</code>
+However, most pages are not in a namespace because they don't help organize a sufficiently big wiki, as some pages might reasonably belong in more than one namespace. This also makes page URLs simpler.
-In other words, just use the full name with namespace everywhere and things will work fine.
-Pages in the root namespace (i.e., with no namespace) can be linked to with an extra colon, as if the namespace is just an empty string:
-<code>[[:wiki|Link Text]]</code>
-==== Moving and Renaming Pages ====
-The Move plugin can rename a page and update references linking to it. See [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:move|the user manual]].
-Go to a page, then mouse over the edit page button. In the drop-down menu that appears, select the rename pages tool to rename the page.
