Within VaultWiki their are several ways of naming your Wiki and sections of it:
[list=1][*]The main name used globally across your site (navbars, breadcrumbs, etc)
[*]The default namespace for the main Wiki article entries
[*]The forums that you use for your namespaces and their subforums[/list]
Here we will explain how to adjust each one.
[h=2]The Global Name of Your Wiki[/h]
The main setting for the global name of your wiki can be found within the vBulletin Settings section of your AdminCP (Admin Control Panel). To reach the location of the setting, you need to select the options as follows:

[template]Warning Box|Note|Adjusting the Name of your Wiki here will result in the name being used globally across the site, such as in the navbar and in breadcrumbs. This may make them look awkward if you choose a name that is long.[/template]
[h=2]The Default Namespace[/h]
Adjusting the name of the Default Namespace will affect how that namespace [B][I]alone[/I][/B] is displayed across the site. There are several settings associated with this that can adjust how this behaviour works. To reach the location to adjust these settings, you need to select the options as follows:
[list][*]Login to your AdminCP
[*]Select [B]VaultWiki[/B]
[*]Select [B]NamespaceManager[/B] from the menu that drops down
[*]Select [B][Edit][/B] for the default namespace, usually [B]ID #6[/B] and by default called [B]Default[/B][/list]
Within the page that displays, you will see two settings we need to use: [B]Title[/B] and [B]Display Title[/B]. The first, [B]Title[/B] affects what the master name of this default namespace is. What this is set to will be used universally for the site, [B][I]if[/I][/B] no [B]Display Title[/B] is set. Setting the [B]Display Title[/B] results in the default namespace using that name.
So, as an example, if you set Title to "The Wiki", and leave Display Title blank, then "The Wiki" will show up through the site wherever the default namespace is referred to. Setting Display Title to "My Wiki" will mean that "My Wiki" will show up instead of "The Wiki".
