One thing I've noticed is that for all how the page for They Might Be Giants claims them to be the unofficial official band of this wiki, there's relatively few people on this site who seem to ever reference them.

Sometimes it seems like we're annoyed by every little thing.

It's the internet, if you can think of it someone can argue or get upset about it.

On that same note, giving those people more importance by complaining about them solves nothing :P

Ordo: Okay.

Namespaces are used to categorise works by medium (roughly), or to make subpages. Doctor Who goes in Series/ because it's a live-action TV show. The Crowning Moment of Funny page for Doctor Who has Funny/ as its namespace because that makes it a subpage still connected to the main page.

To link to a page in a namespace, write Namespace/PageTitle, or Namespace/{{Title}} if it's a single word. Funny/DoctorWho shows up as Doctor Who.

Does that make sense/is it enough of an answer?

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

[up]That. Everyone seems to do the surprised emoticon a crapton. It grows tiresome after a while.

Do not spare the feelings of those who would not spare yours.

Useful Notes is what I'm worried about with namespace

[up] It depends if we find a real life item important enough to directly trope or not.

Some cases, just the basic information would be useful notes. But more important things, like actual tropes, requires a different namespace.
