The BlueSpice Galaxy provides a structured environment for creating, sharing, and maintaining knowledge across your organization. To help users find and work with information effectively, the Galaxy organizes knowledge on different levels: wikis, namespaces, and pages.
Information in the BlueSpice Galaxy is organized in a structured way to make knowledge easier to find and maintain. A Galaxy contains multiple '''wikis'''. Each wiki has its own set of '''namespaces''', and namespaces provide a framework for organizing '''pages''' and their content.
Understanding how these elements work together helps you navigate the Galaxy and use its content effectively.

Information in the BlueSpice Galaxy is organized in a structured way to make knowledge easier to find and maintain. A Galaxy contains multiple wikis. Each wiki has its own set of namespaces, and namespaces provide a framework for organizing pages and their content.

The Galaxy and its wikis

Each wiki in the Galaxy serves a specific purpose and provides its own knowledge space with its own content and structure.
When you log in, you start in the Main wiki. It is the central entry point to the Galaxy and typically contains information that is relevant across the organization. The Galaxy also includes the Shared resources wiki, which provides content that is shared across different areas of the organization, as well as Subwikis for specific use cases such as project documentation, team collaboration, process management, quality management, or an internal helpdesk.
Depending on your permissions, you may have access to different wikis, areas, and functions within the Galaxy.

Wikis as knowledge spaces

While each wiki in the Galaxy represents a dedicated knowledge space for a specific purpose, all wikis are designed for information that develops over time. Instead of treating knowledge as a collection of separate documents, a wiki connects information through pages that can be updated, expanded, and linked together as users contribute and knowledge evolves. This makes it possible to build a connected knowledge environment that grows with the organization. ​Regardless of their purpose, all wikis provide a consistent way to organize information within the Galaxy.

Organizing information within a wiki

Pages are the basic building blocks of a wiki. They contain the information that users create, read, edit, and maintain. Pages can be connected through links, allowing users to navigate between topics and discover additional context. They can also have subpages that provide additional levels of hierarchy, for example by separating a general topic from specific information.
To organize different types of information, pages are grouped into namespaces. Namespaces provide a consistent structure within a wiki and help separate content according to its purpose.
​In the BlueSpice Galaxy, namespaces are predefined to provide a reliable structure across wikis. Most users primarily work with pages in the main namespace, where general wiki content is stored. Other namespaces support specific use cases, such as Controlled document for information that requires approval processes or Minutes for meeting documentation.
