A BoyWiki namespace is a set of BoyWiki pages whose names begin with a reserved word recognized by the MediaWiki software (followed by a colon). In the case of the article (or main) namespace, the namespace name is nameless (i.e. the page name).
In other pages that are usually non-encyclopedic content, the namespace is part of the title of a page name. For example, in the user namespace all titles begin with "User:" other examples are BoyWiki:(page name), Help:(page name) ect...
