Project space is [[WP:NOT#WEBHOST|not a free web host]] and should not be used as a long-term archive to host pages that look like articles. Pages in project space that look like articles may be subject to [[WP:MFD|deletion]]. Short-term hosting of potentially valid articles as reasonable content under development is usually acceptable where the page is being used to collaborate on encyclopedic work and as a place to write a draft encyclopedia article directly. When a project space page reaches a point where it can be included as an article consider [[WP:MOVE|moving]] it into mainspace or using its content appropriately in other relevant articles.

Many pages simply provide some information about Wikipedia (like this page). Some of them reflect a particular opinion, and are marked with {{tl|essay}} template (see [[WP:ESSAYS]]).

=== Historical pages ===
A '''[[:Category:Wikipedia archives|historical]]''' page or process is one which is no longer in use, or any non-recent log of any process at all, and is kept as a record of past Wikipedia events that have a noteworthy value in being maintained as happened. A historical page can be revived to an active page by using it.

== Before creating a new page ==
The project namespace contains many pages and a lot of information, and most Wikipedians probably have not read all of it. To make information easier to find, try to avoid creating new pages in the project namespace unnecessarily. If you want to add material, you might discover that the same thing already exists somewhere else. Before creating a new page, you should consider looking through the [[Wikipedia:Topical index|topical index]] to see if the material belongs at a page that already exists.

With project namespace including pages with information or discussion about Wikipedia, the topics of these pages span various or somewhat unrelated matters. Miscellany for deletion (MfD) handles these miscellany deletion matters. Some of the more common project namespace deletion requests at MfD include Administrators' noticeboard pages, Article Incubator pages, Article Rescue Squadron pages, Articles for creation pages, Articles for deletion pages, Community Portal pages, Essays, List pages, Miscellany for deletion pages, Requested articles pages, Requests for adminship pages, Requests for comment pages, and Sandbox pages. For a complete listing of project namespace deletion requests at MfD, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3APrefixIndex&prefix=Miscellany+for+deletion%2FWikipedia&namespace=4 all MfD pages with Wikipedia prefix].
