| Namespace | List of pages | Description | N | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Category | prefix | range | summary | A category page defines an "is a" relation for pages. A page may be assigned to any number of categories. For example, a page with the category assignment [[Category:Position]] "is a" position page. The subject of the page "is a" position.

| Concept | prefix | range | A concept page defines an implicit "is-a" relation determined by a database query rather than by an explicit tag within each member page. The concept page encodes the query in a user-editable form. For example, the scope of the query for Concept:Forum happens to include the page Stuff:Election Methods which thereby "is a" forum page; the subject of the page "is a" forum.1 For more information, see Help:Concepts. | 108 | |
| File | prefix | range | A file page is for storage and description of an image or other file that is uploaded to the wiki. | 6 | |
| Help | prefix | range | A help page is for instructions and examples. Some help pages are stored in other namespaces; for a complete listing, see Category:Help. | 12 | |
| Main | prefix | range | The main namespace is for area-specific pages. Each area has a top-level page (for example Tor) under which it stores the subpages (Tor subpages) that define its neighbourhoods, streets, polling divisions, polls, and so forth. | 0 | |
| MediaWiki | prefix | range | Pages in the MediaWiki namespace define the localized system messages for the wiki. Editing of these is restricted to translators. For the default values, see Special:AllMessages. For instructions on usage, see Help:System message. | 8 | |
| Module | prefix | range | A module page defines a script that may be invoked from within other pages. For more information, see Extension:Scribunto. | 828 | |
| Property | prefix | range | summary | A property page defines the form of a "has-a" relation. Once the form is defined, any ordinary page may use it to assign an actual property value (or values) to the page. For example, a page with the property assignment [[division::Tor/ward/20]] "has a" polling division, namely the division Tor/ward/20. For more information, see Help:Properties and types.

| User | prefix | range | A user page is for a user. Each user has a single top-level page for setting registration properties, and any number of subpages for drafting poll positions. | 2 | |
| Wiki | prefix | range | A 'Wiki' page is for general administration of the pollwiki and associated facilities. This namespace is also called the 'Project' namespace. | 4 | |
Notes
- ^ A member page for a concept does not automatically receive a backlink to the defining concept page, as does a member page for a category. You must manually encode such a backlink in the page content if you require it. This is one of the disadvantages of using concepts instead of categories.
