[[folder:Series Namespaces]]
Some series and franchises are big enough that they've gotten their own namespaces spun off. This is completely optional. Works that have gotten this treatment currently include:
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Discworld Discworld/]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Disney Disney/]] - Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, individual WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts, original Disney characters, non-theatrical sequels/prequels/midquels to the DAC, and whatever other Disney works would otherwise have a namespace conflict

Certain works may use namespaces if the work page would otherwise be too large for the wiki software to handle, but this is not recommended.
[[/folder]]

Tropes belong in the '''Main''' namespace. Because Main is the default namespace, you don't have to do anything special when writing {{Wiki Word|s}} to link to them.

In wiki technical jargon, "namespace" means a section of the Wiki's organizational structure. It should become obvious enough when reading the URL of the current page you're on what namespace you're currently in. For example, the URL of this page is '''[=https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Administrivia/Namespace=]'''. It is located in the '''Administrivia''' namespace.

Tropes belong in the '''Main''' namespace. Because Main is the default namespace, you don't have to do anything special when writing WikiWords to link to them.

To link to pages in another namespace, format them like this:
->[=Namespace/PageTitle=]

or for single-word titles:
->[=Namespace/{{Title}}=] e.g. Film/{{Avatar}}.

The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/articlecount.php Article Count]] page lists the currently-used namespaces and how many pages are in each. Moderators can set some namespace specific functions on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/mod_namespace_config.php Namespace Config]], regular tropers can see the settings. What follows is a general breakdown.

[[folder:Media Namespaces]]
In a perfect world, every work on Wiki/TVTropes would be in its corresponding namespace. But in the words of Tropers/FastEddie: ''"If we had had more forethought, that's the way we would have started five years ago."''

We're relying on incremental change to migrate works to namespaces for their respective Administrivia/MediaCategories: live action TV series to the {{Series}} namespace, comicbooks to ComicBook, movies to {{Film}}, etc. You can help by moving a works article you happen to come across that is in the wrong place. (See Administrivia/HowToMoveAPage for step-by-step instructions.)

%%Careful, though. Sites all over the world link to our works pages. We need to leave a [[Administrivia/CreatingNewRedirects redirect]] in place to service those links.
%% Editor note: the above is obsolete thanks to the auto-disambig system, as long as the title does not change.

The media namespaces currently used include:
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Advertising Advertising/]]

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Anime Anime/]] (For both films and series; if a work is AnimeFirst, or the anime is distinct enough from the original source that it can get a separate page -- e.g., ''Manga/{{Excel|Saga}} [[Anime/ExcelSaga Saga]]'' -- it belongs here.)
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=ARG ARG/]]

Also, it is only pages under this namespace that should be marked as a Creator-type page. Everything else -- including Music/, Wrestling/, and [=LetsPlay/=] -- should be marked as Work-type pages.)

[[folder:Subpage Namespaces]]

[[folder:Trope and YMMV Namespaces]]
A few tropes and [[YMMV.HomePage YMMVs]] have grown large enough that they had to be split into several pages with their own namespace. The ones with a percent sign have their own icon on top of the page. Currently they include:

[[folder:Series Namespaces]]
Some series and franchises are big enough that they've gotten their own namespaces spun off. This is completely optional. Works that have gotten this treatment currently include:
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Discworld Discworld/]]
* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Disney Disney/]] - Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, individual WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts, original Disney characters, non-theatrical sequels/prequels/midquels to the DAC, and whatever other Disney works would otherwise have a namespace conflict

Certain works may use namespaces if the work page would otherwise be too large for the wiki software to handle, but this is not recommended.

!!Translation namespaces
Partial translations of the wiki into other languages, to varying degrees of completeness. See HomePages for a list.

!!Forum threads about namespaces
Of course, namespaces need some maintenance and that is provided by three forum topics: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13292464700A22187400 Media namespaces -- a battery of questions]] when you are not sure in which namespace to put a page, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13089408750A90860100 Wick Migration]] for help in moving {{wick}}s between namespaces and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13345901180A51310200 Suggesting new namespaces]] to propose new namespaces.

Most tropes belong in the '''Main''' namespace. Because Main is the default namespace, you don't have to do anything special when writing WikiWords to link to them.

The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/articlecount.php Article Count]] page lists the currently-used namespaces and how many pages are in each. What follows is a general breakdown.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=DarthWiki DarthWiki/]] -- [[DarthWiki The Dark Side]] of the wiki. They have cookies, Administrivia/ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike and bitching in general. Do not use anything from here as examples, and do not pothole to here except in descriptions.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=SugarWiki SugarWiki/]] -- SugarWiki is the Pink and Sugary LighterAndSofter Side of the wiki. This is where you can find SugarWiki/GushingAboutShowsYouLike and more. And our cookies are better.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=TropeCo TropeCo/]] -- The [[TropeCo TV Tropes Catalog]]!

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Buffy Buffy/]]

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=MagicTheGathering MagicTheGathering/]]

A few tropes and [[YMMV.HomePage YMMVs]] have grown large enough that they had to be split into several pages with their own namespace. The ones with a percent sign have their own icon on top of the page. The ones with an ampersand have the icon, but are not displayed on top of the page. Currently they include:

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=AwesomeMusic AwesomeMusic/]]

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Discontinuity Discontinuity/]] -- primarily for FanonDiscontinuity, not CanonDiscontinuity

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=HoYay HoYay/]]

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Horrible Horrible/]] -- DarthWiki/SoBadItsHorrible

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Fanfic Fanfic/]]
* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Film Film/]] (Animated films go in [=WesternAnimation/=], Animation/ or Anime/ as appropriate.)

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=AATAFOVS AATAFOVS/]] -- The [[AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers show]] inspired by Wiki/TVTropes.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Corpse Corpse/]] -- JustForFun/ExquisiteCorpse

We're relying on incremental change to migrate works to namespaces for their respective Administrivia/MediaCategories: live action TV series to the {{Series}} namespace, comicbooks to ComicBook, movies to {{Film}}, etc. You can help by moving a works article you happen to come across that is in the wrong place. (See Administrivia/HowToMoveAPage for step-by-step instructions.) Careful, though. Sites all over the world link to our works pages. We need to leave a [[Administrivia/CreatingNewRedirects redirect]] in place to service those links.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=UsefulNotes UsefulNotes/]] -- [[UsefulNotes Information explaining cultural, regional and other information]] that appears in {{trope}}s and works. Also a catch-all for people and companies that don't belong in Creator/: politicians, historical figures, retailers, etc.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Art Art/]] (Notable works of classical arts.)

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Music Music/]] (For bands, individual artists, music albums, and notable songs/music videos)
