To add a new namespace, go to CES VaultWiki -> Namespace Manager, and click "Add New Namespace". You will be presented with numerous settings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Allow Article Discussions
If this is enabled, visitors will be able to post comments about articles written in this namespace.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Use Display Parent Breadcrumbs (Special namespace only)
Enable this setting to prepend the Display Parent's breadcrumbs to the Special namespace's breadcrumbs.
