| When more and more content is added to a page, eventually it becomes very difficult to navigate the code to make small edits to it. One way around this is to split the content into other pages and then put them into the main page the same way you would a template.
The first thing you need to know is the Namespace the page is in. For example, templates are in the Template namespace because they are preceded by Template: and user pages are in the User namespace because they are preceded by User:. Pages in the Main namespace do not have anything preceding them. To see all the namespaces currently available on the wiki, take a look at Special:Search. Once you know a page's namespace, that page can be included on another page the same way a template can be included.
Experienced contributors could take this a step farther and insert optional parameters on pages the same way templates have parameters. |
