don't need to create namespaces separately; simply create pages with colons in the <a href="/pagename" class="wikilink1" title="pagename" data-wiki-id="pagename">pagename</a>. The token after the last colon will be the name of the page itself, while all other tokens are namespaces. All namespaces used in your pagename that don't exist already will be created by DokuWiki automatically. </p> <p> A namespace can be created in the media manager after having selected a file on the local computer and adding a <code>name:</code> (of namespace wanted) just before the media file name and then clicking <code>upload</code>. This will create on the fly the namespace (folder) for the file media, visible after a refresh of the windows. </p> <p> In DokuWiki, pages are created as in every other wiki. Simply create a link to a non existing page, follow this link, and click on Create this page.
