I don't see any of that in the wiki2 page.

It's mentioned in examples :) Yeah, could be more clearly mentioned in the wiki page too. Of course it's already in the example-config/conf.d/10-mail.conf file. The <name> part in namespace <name> { } should also be in the wiki page, although that's not namespace-specific thing at all, but works everywhere in dovecot.conf. It simply gives a (human-readable) name for the namespace within the configuration, it doesn't actually do anything.
