{{SITENAME}} is broken into a number of [[mw:namespace]]s which delineate purpose of each article, and how it should be written. This page is here to elaborate how each namespace should be used.
==Wiki content==
===Main namespace===
Main namespace is where most of the wiki's content should reside. Articles in main namespace should focus on practical advice regarding software, services, technologies and concept which the reader uses every day. The focus here is on the practicality and actionability. This means that the reader can take the subject product/service and based on the article's advice be able to implement changes to it which strengthen reader's privacy.
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
Purpose of Analysis namespace is to provide a space to offer considered opinions and insights which may not be readily apparent to the reader. This is the place to help the reader connect the dots, and read about arguments that we make regarding why privacy is important and worth protecting.
===Alternatives namespace===
Alternatives namespace is the place for expansive coverage of all the privacy respecting alternatives to common services and software.
===Meta namespace===▼
Recommending better alternatives in the Mainspace articles is usually appropriate. However, we do not want to bury the reader in many similar options which are all better, but differ subtly. Instead, the mainspace article should focus on one or two no-regret and most feature complete options. Avoid inducing [[w:analysis paralysis|analysis paralysis]].
Instead, Alternatives namespace is the place to built a list of all which are better than the privacy-invasive choice. This companion page is optional reading for those readers that do want to drill down into nuances of all their alternative choices.
===Recommended namespace===
These namespace is, in some sense, opposite of the Main namespace. Here we recommend software and services which are privacy respecting, and we document why those choices are better than the privacy invasive ones.<br />
However, this does not mean that the articles in this namespace have to be universally positive or contain only praise. If fair criticism can be levelled against the subject, we should do so.
==Meta content==
===PrivacyWiki namespace===
PrivacyWiki is the place to document internal policy and to coordinate working on the project itself.
For user pages.
==Talk content==
Each above detailed namespace has it's own talk namespace. All discussions between editors directly should be confined to those talk namespaces.
