	Pages on LIMSwiki are ~~orgainized~~ into namespaces. Namespaces are a mechanism for grouping/separating wiki pages, differentiating between the purpose of the pages at a high level. Pages in certain namespaces can have special properties or behave differently when they interact with other pages. Namespaces are indicated in page titles by prefixing the page name with "<tt>namespace:</tt>", so the prefix "<tt>{{NAMESPACE}}:</tt>" in this page's title ("{{FULLPAGENAME}}") indicates that this page is in the {{NAMESPACE}} namespace. A page whose name is ''not'' prefixed by a namespace lies in the mainspace.		Pages on LIMSwiki are organized into namespaces.

Pages on LIMSwiki are orgainized into namespaces. Namespaces are a mechanism for grouping/separating wiki pages, differentiating between the purpose of the pages at a high level. Pages in certain namespaces can have special properties or behave differently when they interact with other pages. Namespaces are indicated in page titles by prefixing the page name with "<tt>namespace:</tt>", so the prefix "<tt>{{NAMESPACE}}:</tt>" in this page's title ("{{FULLPAGENAME}}") indicates that this page is in the {{NAMESPACE}} namespace. A page whose name is ''not'' prefixed by a namespace lies in the mainspace.

===Organization Policies===
Each namespace on the UBC Wiki serves a different purpose and may have slightly different policies:
<blockquote>
====Main space====
The '''[[Main_Space|root]]''', or mainspace, of the wiki is primarily a shared community space and articles in this section should be encyclopedic in nature, appeal to a broad audience, and be reflective of UBC. Titles should be as specific as possible and not use abbreviations or acronyms. Each article should start with an introductory sentence describing what the page is about. Articles that do not meet this criteria may be moved. Pages in the mainspace belong to the wiki community and anyone should feel free to edit them. The [[Main Space]] does not support [[Help:Subpages|subpages]].

====Course space====
The '''[[course]]''' space is for instructors, students, and individuals to post, organize, and collaborate on course content. Content should be organized under the class number using subpages. While any individual (including the instructor) does "own" any particular class space, this is still an area that can be used as an individual work space for class projects, collaborative work, and the like. Outside editing of articles in this namespace shall be minimal.

====Documentation space====
The '''[[documentation]]''' space is for user manuals, documentation, support and other similar content. Outside editing of articles or pages in this space shall be minimal.

====Sandbox====
The '''[[Sandbox]]''' is is a personal notebook space that can be used for building draft pages, working on personal or group projects, or just playing the wiki. It is a casual, unofficial space and you should not edit a page there if you have not be invited to do so.</blockquote>

In addition, LIMSwiki includes a few other semi-reserved namespaces:

* LabLynx KB: reserved for [[LabLynx, Inc.]]'s body of knowledge
* LabCourses.com: eventually this namespace will be designated for handling documentation for public domain online course site LabCourses.com

==Adding a page to LIMSwiki==
