Most pages on SmashWiki are articles, such as [[Link (SSBM)]] and [[Sector Z]].  The title at the top of the page is just that: "Link (SSBM)".  However, some pages, like this one, are ''not'' articles about Smash, but rather help users find their bearings on SmashWiki.  These pages are part of different '''namespaces'''.

The title of every non-article page begins with a namespace which indicates what type of page it is.  For instance, this page's title starts with "Help:" because it is a help page ([[#Help pages|described below]]).  A Talk page's title starts with "Talk:", a Category with "Category:", et cetera.  These namespaces help you distinguish ''namespace pages'' from normal articles, which have are part of the "Main" namespace (but are not labeled as such).
