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 before clicking upload.
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 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 startpage configuration setting.) |
