Template:Namespaces
templates
The plural version of {{Namespace}}. This works similar to the magic word {{NAMESPACE}}, which returns the name of whatever namespace it's on (hence it says 'templates' right now). All this does is assign new names to those values to make them a little easier to use in template messages. This version is to be used when a plural form is needed.
This table compares the magic word to Template:Namespace and this template showing what each would display if in those namespaces.
