'''''Directory Space''''' is a protected [[Help:About|MyWikiBiz]] custom namespace that supports advocate point of view ([[APOV]]) for "[[Help:user-owned|user-owned]]" pages.  '''''Directory''''' pages are not typically intended to be modified by the community of MyWikiBiz editors; rather, they are almost always the work of just one author.
   −
MyWikiBiz uses an ''[[Entity|entity]]'' (person [legal organization or individual], place, or thing) concept to determine placement. The basic rule-of-thumb to determine whether an article should be listed under the '''''Directory Space''''' or be placed within '''''Main Space''''' is: ''"Would the entity have legal standing in a court of law"?''

Experienced wiki editors may also wish to use '''''Directory Space''''' as a personal publishing area for content not related to a legal entity, but for which they will take responsibility, without interference from other editors.  Some examples of where this has been done on MyWikiBiz:

 +
* Recipe collection - [[Directory:KJ Kitchens|KJ Kitchens]]

* Theater of public domain films - [[Directory:Minks Theater Presents|Minks Theater Presents]]
 +
* Repository of philosophy texts - [[Directory:Logic Museum|Logic Museum]]
