    This page is a chapter in the book Introduction to Namespaces.
    To add a new namespace, go to VaultWiki > Namespace Manager, and click "Add New Namespace". You will be presented with numerous settings.

    Contents

    • 2Display Title
    • 3Relative URL Path
    • 4Display Order
    • 5Use Forum Display order
    • 6Show Namespace in Forum Bits

    • 11Top-Level Forum
    • 12When choosing "Create New Forum" above, should a new Parent Forum be created first?
    • 13Display in Forum (Special namespace only)

    [hide][top]Title

    The title of the namespace. This will be displayed in the URL, in the forum list, in the navbar, and in the forum jump.

    [hide][top]Display Title

    An alternate title of the namespace. This will be displayed in the forum list, in the navbar, and in the forum jump. Note the URL will still use the normal Title.

    [hide][top]Relative URL Path


    A namespace will normally be accessible using the Wiki PHP File Name as the URL path:

    http://www.mysite.com/wiki/Namespace:Article

    However, admins can define a custom relative URL path for any namespace. For example, for the Book namespace, one can enter "books" to achieve:

    http://www.mysite.com/books/Article

    If a custom value is set, it should be relative to the Wiki Base URL, and omit any leading or trailing slashes.

    Incorrect: /books
    Incorrect: /books/
    Incorrect: books/
    Correct: books

    Note:
    This setting will only have an effect if "Simple Wiki URLs" are enabled in "VaultWiki: Server Settings." After making changes to this setting, you should update your server's .htaccess files.

    [hide][top]Display Order

    The ordering of the namespaces within the forum list. Lower numbers are displayed first and a display order of 0 causes the namespace to not be displayed in the forum list. However, it is still accessible if the direct URL is known.

    [hide][top]Use Forum Display order

    The namespace's Display Order will synchronize with the Top-Level Forum's Display Order setting. This means that when saving the namespace, the forum's Display Order will be updated to match the value entered for the namespace.

    However, when creating new namespaces, you may not know the appropriate Display Order. To preserve the existing forum setting, this option will use the forum's Display Order instead.

    [hide][top]Show Namespace in Forum Bits

    When this is turned on The Namespace will appear as a sub-forum in the Forums list . If this is off The Namspace will be hidden from this page

    [hide][top]BB-Code Tag Name

    The BB-Code Tag that will be used to link to articles contained in this namespace. The Namespace Manager will create this tag if it doesn't already exist.

    [hide][top]Prefix Namespace Title

    If this is enabled, the Title of an article will be modified when viewing the Article tab. It will appear similar to the URL, as Namespace:Article.

    [hide][top]Allow Article Discussions

    If this is enabled, visitors will be able to post comments about articles written in this namespace.

    [hide][top]Require Edit Reason for Wiki Articles

    If this is enabled, users who edit wiki articles will be forced to enter a reason for making their change. This information can be useful for Administrators who are planning to moderate edits to articles. The reason is also displayed on the article's History tab, as well as Special:Recentchanges and Special:Contributions.

    If this is disabled, users can still enter a reason when editing, but it is not mandatory.

    [hide][top]Top-Level Forum

    This sets the forum where new articles will be created. If there isn't already a forum you want to use, you can select 'Create New Forum'. The next page will allow you to set some basic options for the new forum.

    Only forums that have not been selected by other namespaces are available for this option.

    [hide][top]When choosing "Create New Forum" above, should a new Parent Forum be created first?

    If you want to place the new forum in a forum category that doesn't already exist, select this option. The next page will allow you to set some basic options for the new parent forum.

    [hide][top]Display in Forum (Special namespace only)

    The Special namespace doesn't use forums to save articles, but you still may want to choose a forum to make it appear in.
