===== Creating Namespaces =====

You don't need to create namespaces separately; simply create pages with colons in the [[pagename]]. 
The token after the last colon will be the name of the page itself, while all other tokens are namespaces. 
All namespaces used in your pagename that don't exist already will be created by DokuWiki automatically.

A namespace can be created in the media manager after having selected a file on the local computer and adding a ''name:'' (of namespace wanted) just before the media file name and then clicking  ''upload''. This will create on the fly the namespace (folder) for the file media, visible after a refresh of the windows. 

In DokuWiki pages are created as in every other wiki. Simply create a link to a non existing page, follow this link, and click on Create this page. See also [[.:page#create_a_page|Adding pages]].

^  Examples:  ^^
|example\\ .example\\ .:example|refers to the page "example" in the **current** namespace.|
|:example|refers to the page "example" in the **root** namespace.|
|..example\\ ..:example\\ .:..:example|refers to the page "example" in the **parent** namespace|
|wiki:example|refers to the page "example" in the namespace "wiki". The namespace "wiki" is located **beneath the root** namespace.|
|ns1:ns2:example\\ :ns1:ns2:example|refers to the page "example" in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located **beneath the root** namespace.|
|.ns1:ns2:example\\ .:ns1:ns2:example|refers to the page "example" in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located **beneath the current** namespace.|
|..ns1:ns2:example\\ ..:ns1:ns2:example|refers to the page "example" in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located **beside the current** namespace (i.e. both ns1 and the current namespace are beneath the same parent namespace, wherever according to the root namespace this parent may be located itself).|
|.ns1:ns2:\\ .:ns1:ns2:|refers to the page "start" in the namespace ns2. The namespace ns2 is located beneath the namespace ns1; the namespace ns1 is located beneath the current namespace.\\ \\ (The default page can be named something other than "start" by adjusting the [[config:startpage]] configuration setting.)| 

:!: Gotcha: The syntax for relative and absolute internal links is non-unique and complex relative to directory and filename conventions.

Paths are absolute if and only if they begin with "/".

Links are absolute if and only if they have a ":" prefix or have no prefix but do have intermediate (or suffix) ":"

Links relative to the current namespace may also begin with either "." or ".:" (".." or "..:" for parent namespace).

===== Deleting namespaces =====

When all pages inside a namespace are removed (see [[page#delete_a_page|delete a page]]) the namespace logically doesn’t exist anymore. DokuWiki usually deletes the now empty directory as well.
