A '''namespace''' is a like a drawer in a file cabinet. It allows users of Saintapedia to store different types of material in different file drawers. Most users only see the "Main" user space. It is where all of the [[Three Core Principles|topical articles]] are created. However, there are a number of other file drawers that serve specific purposes. Wikipedia has a {{W|Wikipedia:Namespace|comprehensive article on namespaces}}.

==Searching namespaces==  


By default, the search box will only search the main article space. Users can tell Saintapedia which namespaces they'd like to search within by going to the "Search" tab within [[Special:Preferences|my preferences]]. Users can also tell Saintapedia to search in other namespaces on any given search by scrolling to the bottom of the search results, selecting which namespaces you want to search, and then running the search again.
