This is the {{namespace detect showall}} meta-template.

It helps other templates detect what type of page they are on. It is an extended version of {{namespace detect}}.

This template detects and groups all the different namespaces used on Wikipedia into several types:

main = Main/article space, as in normal Wikipedia articles.
talk = Any talk space, such as page names that start with "Talk:", "User talk:", "Image talk:" and so on.
user, wikipedia, image, mediawiki, template, help, category and portal = The other namespaces except the talk pages.
other = Any namespaces that were not specified as a parameter to the template. See explanation below.

Note! For most usage cases it might be better to use the simpler namespace detection templates. (See the see also section below.) Since this template is more prone to human errors such as misspelling the parameter names.
