 +=== Subscribing to a namespace ===
 +
 +Some parts of the wiki are organized into [[http://​www.dokuwiki.org/​namespaces|namespaces]].This is denoted in the page address by a colon(:​). ​ For instance, this page is under the "How To" namespace, so the page address starts with "​howto:"​ followed by the page title "​subscribe_to_changes"​. ​ Subscribing to a namespace is similar to the method for all pages, except for the starting point:
 +
 +  - Browse to a page that is part of the namespace to which you want to subscribe. ​ To see all the namespaces, click the "​Sitemap"​ button at the top right of any page.  The bold entries with arrows next to them are the namespaces. ​ You can click any one of them to expand the list and then browse to one of the pages contained within. ​
 +  - Click the "​Manage Subscriptions"​ button at the bottom of the page.
 +  - Select the **//second option//** under the Subscribe box.  This should be the namespace followed by a colon(:) and an asterisk(*). ​ So, for this page, it should read "​howto:​*"​
 +  - Choose your notification method, either once for every change, or a digest email sent less frequently.
 +  - Click the subscribe button. ​
  
 After you click subscribe, you should see a message at the top of your screen indicating that you have been added to the subscription list for whatever page you subscribed to. After you click subscribe, you should see a message at the top of your screen indicating that you have been added to the subscription list for whatever page you subscribed to.
