In addition to the articles and their Talk pages, there are some other categories of behind-the-scenes pages that help Wikipedians communicate with each other, and serve a variety of other roles in building Battlestar Wiki. These different areas are often referred to as namespaces — as in, "the Talk namespace".

User pages and User Talk pages
If you want to share information about yourself, the place to put it is your User page. If other users want to communicate with you, they will leave a message on your User talk page.
Some other areas
Pages in the Battlestar Wiki namespace (also known as the "Project namespace") provide information about Battlestar Wiki and how to use it. The MediaWiki namespace contains interface texts such as link labels (What links here, etc.) and server messages. All the pages in both these areas also have corresponding MediaWiki talk pages.
Content written in a Template page will be displayed in articles that contain the corresponding template reference. Take a look at BW:TEM project to see what templates have already been created. You can use the corresponding tags in articles. You can also create new templates.
