! style="width:25%;" | Help namespace
|-
| '''Wikipedia'''
| encyclopedia articles
| information about Wikipedia—its policies, guidelines, rules, etc.—along with some help about MediaWiki that is particular to Wikipedia
| copied from Meta-Wiki's help namespace
|-
| '''Meta-Wiki'''
| meta-pages: information relevant to multiple Wikimedia projects
| pages related to Meta-Wiki itself, not to other Wikimedia projects
| documentation of the basic, technical features of MediaWiki
|-
| '''MediaWiki.org'''
| all general information about the software
| organisation of MediaWiki.org (this namespace should be as small as possible)
| style="background:#bbf;" | set of basic help pages for users of existing wikis (formatting, etc.), aiming for a complete English version that can be shipped with the MW distribution (unlike elsewhere, contributions in this namespace are licensed in the '''public domain''')
|}

== Additional namespaces ==
*MediaWiki.org has two additional namespaces:
**Manual :All technical or more detailed stuff behind the surface, that is not part of the basic help pages (full handbook, mainly for the ones who want to set up an own wiki).
**Extension :All extensions and directly related stuff.
*[[Project:About|Meta-Wiki]] has several custom namespaces, see [[Meta:Namespaces]].

== See also ==
* Namespace information for specific projects:
** [[v:Help:Namespaces]] (Wikiversity)
** [[c:Help:Namespaces]] (Wikimedia Commons)
** [[s:mul:WS:COORD]] (Wikisource)
* [[Special namespaces for portals and lists]] for an old, now widely accepted proposal
