The '''main namespace''' or '''article namespace''' is the [[Wikipedia:Namespace|namespace]] of [[Wikipedia]] that contains the [[encyclopedia]] proper (see [[Special:Allpages]]). It is the default namespace and does not use a prefix in article page names.

This namespace contains [[Wikipedia:What is an article?|Wikipedia articles]].

Not all pages in the article namespace are considered to be articles; the most notable exceptions are:
* the [[Main Page]];
* for wiki-statistical purposes, some extremely short and simple pages are not counted as articles. The criteria varied over time.
* thousands of [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|disambiguation pages]] which are used to resolve naming conflicts;
* many millions of [[Wikipedia:redirect|redirect]] pages which are used to re-route one page to another page.
* Many wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Lists|lists]] are navigation tools, rather than encyclopedic articles ''per se''. Annotated lists, especially [[Wikipedia:Featured lists|the ones voted to be "featured lists"]], such as the [[List of ISS spacewalks]], deserve to be treated as encyclopedic articles.

[[Wikipedia:Talk page|Talk pages]] for the articles belong to the "Talk" namespace, i.e., the pagenames start with the prefix "Talk:". For example "[[Talk:Wikipedia]]" is the talk page for the "[[Wikipedia]]" article.
