	* '''Campaign''' is for personal [[campaign]]s and related articles -- character pages, session summaries, house rules, and so on. Pages in this namespace are not treated as "content pages" by the wiki; this means that [[Special:Random\|Random page]] will not land on them, and they will not appear in the lists of [[Special:LonelyPages\|Orphaned pages]] or [[Special:DeadendPages\|Dead-end pages]] (pages with no internal links leading in or out, respectively). This is because campaigns are generally only of interest to the people running them; users browsing the wiki at random probably don't much care about games run by strangers over the Internet. Similarly, because these pages are really only used by people involved in the campaign, they probably aren't linked to by other pages, and probably don't have links to other pages (with the possible exceptions of character pages and other pages related to the campaign). If we didn't designate them as non-content, they would have an increased tendency to clog up those maintenance lists.		* '''Campaign''' is for personal [[campaign]]s and related articles -- character pages, session summaries, house rules, and so on.

	* '''Quest''' is for [[quest]]s run on [[/tg/]] and related articles. Though quests and campaigns are similar in many ways, they are given separate namespaces because they differ in a key respect: quests are run on /tg/ "in public", and involve many more people (potentially the entire board, for the really big ones). They are potentially of interest to the entire board and 1d4chan reader base, so pages in the Quest namespace ''are'' designated content pages, and therefore can be reached by [[Special:Random\|Random page]], and will appear in the lists of [[Special:LonelyPages\|Orphaned pages]] and [[Special:DeadendPages\|Dead-end pages]]. The suggested model to use when creating a new article describing a quest can be found at [[Quest:Quest Article Template]].		* '''Quest''' is for [[quest]]s run on [[:/tg/]] and related articles.

Subpages will have links to their parent page (and if they're several layers down, say "Campaign:Foo/Bar/Baz", they will have links to their grandparents and great-grandparents and so on, all the way up to the top -- subpages can have subpages themselves) at the top of the page, just below the title, and can be made to show links to their subpages with the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SubPageList SubPageList extension].
