When you access a page that has no content, you are given the chance to make that page. When it has no content, the page is deleted. When you make a page "under" another page, the "parent" page now also acts as a **[[wiki:namespaces|namespace]]**.
  
 For example, if we had "cities:restaurants"((this is the bit of the url after 'doku.php?id=', the same as you'd use when making an internal wiki link)), we would consider "cities" to be the namespace. We could go further by having "cities:restaurants:burrito_shop", where both cities //and// restaurants act as namespaces. For example, if we had "cities:restaurants"((this is the bit of the url after 'doku.php?id=', the same as you'd use when making an internal wiki link)), we would consider "cities" to be the namespace.

-The wiki's Struct plugin lets us add data to a page that can be used elsewhere. You'll see this in other places on the wiki with tables that auto-update whenever a page is created or updated. The map plugin uses Struct's data to define the map itself, as well as the markers that appear on it. You can find this data at the bottom of a page that has a Struct 'schema' associated with it, where it looks like part of the page's form.+The wiki's [[wiki:struct|Struct plugin]] lets us add data to a page that can be used elsewhere.
