Page names on Wikipedia give an indication as to what is contained on the page. A page may be part of the actual content (such as an article, category or multimedia) or for the administration and construction of Wikipedia.

Some pages have a prefix to indicate to which Wikipedia namespace the article belongs. Article pages do not have a prefix but others may begin with "File", "Category" etc. The namespace forms part of the URL as well as being shown at the head of the page.


Name of a Wikipedia article. The wikilink for that article is Salvo_D'Acquisto, and the URL is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvo_D'Acquisto.


Wikipedia pages which are not articles are prefixed with a "namespace" identifier. For articles, the "basename" is the full page name.
