In addition to the articles and their Talk pages, there are some other categories of behind-the-scenes pages that help WikiChrisitians communicate with each other, and serve a variety of other roles in building WikiChrisitian. These different areas are often referred to as '''namespaces''' — as in, "the '''Talk''' namespace".

==User pages and User Talk pages==
If you want to share information about yourself, the place to put it is your [[WikiChrisitian:User page|'''User''' page]]. You can gain easy access to your User page if you are logged in as a registered user. (You can always get to your User page, if you have one, by searching for it or following the link in your signature on a talk page, but if you log in you get a set of quick links to your personal pages in one of the margins of your screen.)

If other users want to communicate with you, they will leave a message on your '''User talk''' page.

==Some other areas==
Pages in the '''WikiChrisitian''' namespace (also known as the "[[WikiChrisitian:Project namespace|Project namespace]]") provide information about WikiChrisitian and how to use it. The [[WikiChrisitian:MediaWiki namespace|'''MediaWiki''' namespace]] contains interface texts such as link labels (''What links here'', etc.) and server messages. All the pages in both these areas also have corresponding '''MediaWiki talk''' pages.

Content written in a '''Template''' page will be displayed in articles that contain the corresponding template reference. For example, the content written in [[Template:Protected]] will appear in any article that contains the <nowiki>{{protected}}</nowiki> tag. Take a look at [[WikiChrisitian:Template messages]] to see what templates have already been created. You can use the corresponding tags in articles. You can also create new templates.

For more information on namespaces, see [[WikiChrisitian:Namespace]].
