Pages within the "Project namespace" themselves are not part of the [[Wikipedia:What is an article?|encyclopedia proper]]. These [[WP:ADMINP|administrative pages]] are intended for use by editors or by automated tools for the organization and governance of the encyclopedia. Consequently, they do not generally need to conform to the same [[Wikipedia:Core content policies|content protocols]] or [[WP:MOS| style conventions]] as articles. Nevertheless, these pages, as with all pages, should be [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility|accessible]] and ''must'' comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:List of policies#Conduct|conduct]] and [[Wikipedia:List of policies#Legal|legal]] policies.

The project namespace 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. Articles in the project namespace under construction may be moved to the [[Wikipedia:Drafts|draft namespace]] or [[Help:Userspace draft|userspace draft]] allowing time for their development and feedback before being moved to Wikipedia's mainspace. [[WP:STALEDRAFT|Stalled or abandoned drafts]] and pages in the project namespace that violate [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Community|policies applicable to non-content pages]] may be subject to [[WP:MFD|deletion]]. Editors may not [[Wikipedia:Copyright violations|violate copyrights]] or [[WP:HARASS|harass]] anywhere on Wikipedia. Under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], these types of pages are subject to expeditious deletion. See [[#Deletion of project pages|below]] for more information.
