Namespace restrictions

By default results are selected from all namespaces matching the query condition. It is however also possible to only return pages located in a particular namespace. This is done by specifying the label of the namespace together with a wildcard, e.g. write [[Help:+]]
to return every page in the "Help" namespace. Since the main namespace has no prefix, just write [[:+]]
to select only pages in it, i.e. without specifying a label. To return pages in the "Category" namespace, a colon :
needs to be added in front of the namespace label, e.g. [[:Category:+]]
.
Disjunctions also work using the ||
operator. For example, to return pages in either the main or "User" namespace, write [[:+||User:+]]
.
Note that the namespace must be enabled for holding semantic annotations to be considered for page selection.
