	** ~~for everything dealing with detriche~~		** All pages on the Detriche metaregion
	* ~~Infloraan Sea / world tree~~		* Evergreen
	** for all the ~~fantasy roleplaying stuff~~		** All pages on the Evergreen campaign setting
			* Stoneheart
			** all pages on the stoneheart campaign setting
			* Characters
			** Character bio pages across all campaign settings (search for two categories at once to filter character lists)

			=== Namespaces: ===
			Main: all normal content, in a published form

			Talk: side conversations about the pages, notes on what to update and research or flesh out. These are notes for upcoming publishings

I want to establish some foundations for the wiki to grow into so it can stay somewhat organized.

One way to do this is through MediaWiki's namespaces!

A quick rundown of namespaces: they are basically page prefixes that can be configured on the backend. Then those page prefixes can be searched by category, or certain namespaces can be accessed only by specific users. A page can only have one namespace.

One idea behind namespaces, is general cosmology and common lore can just sit in the "main" namespace, then each metaregion/story plot gets its own namespace so each thing is separated out in that way, so users who aren't really involved in that metaregion can't make edits or certain things can be hidden for privacy. Some things might be in testing before they go into production, or certain things might not be fully appropriate for all audiences.

=== Idea C ===
We could be super low tech and just dump everything into the main page and just have a cover page for each project that holds the specific page links.

Ideas B and C are probably the same thing, but I'm not able to compare and contrast them well enough as a noob.

=== My thoughts ===
I'm leaning on namespaces, because it sets up a clear distinction for things. Since the site is technically publicly viewable, we might be able to hide any parts we need to from public view using namespaces.

Do we want general cosmology to be dumped into main and each metaregion get its own namespace?

Or do we want general cosmology to have its own specific namespace so it's more clearly set aside from the mishmash of other pages?

Both?

Neither?
