Ex: Indicass - Help: pages that attempt to help new and old Editors alike with informative assistance.
Ex: Help:CreateMechArticle - Policies: pages that provide specific and official guidance on what the community deems necessary for a functional encyclopedia.
Ex: Policy:Blocking - BattleTechWiki: pages that revolve around BattleTechWiki (the site) itself and often include essays that will become official polices in the future.
Ex: BattleTechWiki:Dictionary - User: these pages represent the 'homepage' for each registered Editor and unregistered IPs.
Ex: User:Nicjansma - Template: pages that contain some of the semi-automated features of the wiki.
Ex: Template:nutshell - Category: displays 'lists' of pages that fall into specified criteria.
Ex: Category:Planets - Image: inhabiting a unique category of namespace, each uploaded image has its own page within this namespace.
Ex: Image:Crimson langur.jpg - MediaWiki: allows the making of edits (by administrators) to customise or translate the MediaWiki (the server software) web interface.
