The search function
MediaWiki has a userguide on the search function.

You'll find the search function on top of each page, as well as at Special:Search. When you use the search function on any page you'll either be directly taken to the article you were looking for or to the list of results. There you can fine-tune the search. By default the parameter "content pages" is selected, this means you are searching within the articles of this wiki. There is an option to search for "multimedia", "translations" or "everything" as well as an "advanced" option. The latter one lets you select which namespaces you are searching in.
Namespaces are a bit similar to categories, but many namespaces don't contain sites that are meant for visitors of the wiki. Namespaces that might be of interest for visitors are:

  • main (selected by default - searches for the public articles)
  • talk (discussion pages about each article in "main"
  • portal (pages like this one right here)
  • instance (pages about Fediverse instances/servers - we reccomend just looking at Instances instead)
  • join the fediverse (pages about this wiki - some of them are only addressed at editors)
  • fedizen (articles about people who are on the Fediverse - there are not many yet)
  • file (same as the multimedia search)
  • category

Some of the other namespaces are empty and will be removed.
