A namespace is a set of pages whose names begin with a particular reserved word recognized by the MediaWiki software (followed by a colon). For example, in the user namespace all titles begin with the prefix User:. In the case of the article (or main) namespace, in which articles appear, the reserved word and colon are absent. {{small|(Note: main space articles can optionally include a colon at the beginning with no reserved word, so [[Article]] and [[:Article]] are equivalent. This is usually only necessary for the advanced technique of transcluding a main space article into another page.)}}

===Moved===
Moved is sets up hard redirect links that can be used as internal wikilinks. They are used for appearance purposes, such as the endmyopia.org footer, or the {{diff2|13788|lead section}} of the website. It's only used for really frequently linked to stuff.
