Pages on the English Wikipedia that start with any of the following
prefixes are *not* in the main namespace (ns0):

Talk:
User:
User talk:
Wikipedia:
Wikipedia talk:
File:
File talk:
MediaWiki:
MediaWiki talk:
Template:
Template talk:
Help:
Help talk:
Category:
Category talk:
Portal:
Portal talk:
Special:

All pages that do not start with one of these special prefixes are
automatically in namespace 0.  To check the namespace number of a page
if you're uncertain, you can view the page source and check the body
element's classes.  namespace 0 pages will have the class "ns-0".
Other pages will have some other number; for instance, "Talk:" pages
will have "ns-1", because "Talk:" is namespace 1.  "User:" is 2, "User
talk:" is 3, etc.
