| | |
| '''Subpages''' introduce some hierarchical organization into wiki pages, with levels of the hierarchy separated by slashes (<code>/</code>).
| |
| | |
| === Where it works ===
| |
| By default, MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off in the main namespace, but can be used on talk pages and user pages. In namespaces where the feature is switched off, any slashes (/) within a page name are simply part of the page name and do nothing special. On ACCWiki subpages are turned on for all namespaces.
| |
| | |
| === How it works ===
| |
| Slashes (/) within a page name break the page into parent and subpages, recursively, e.g.:
| |
| | |
| * [[How To Use Subpages]] - this page
| |
| * [[How To Use Subpages/subpage]] - child page
| |
| * [[How To Use Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage]] - grandchild page
| |
| | |
| Note that the part of page names after a slash is case sensitive '''including the first letter'''.
| |
| | |
| In subpages, a link back to antecedent pages will automatically appear at the top. These links do not appear, however, if the antecedent pages have not yet been created.
| |
| | |
| === Use of subpages ===
| |
| There are various uses for the subpage feature. Some of the typical usages of subpages are:
| |
| * To organize content that would be too big for a single page, especially when the sections will receive many small edits.
| |
| * To create archives of old discussions under a talk page.
| |
| * To create scratchpad editing spaces under a user page.
| |
| * To create other language versions of a document in multilingual wikis.
| |
| | |
| Subpages are useful for organizing information hierarchically. On the other hand, subpages tend to have a long name that is hard to remember, so it may be more user-friendly to use them as little as possible. You can also organize pages with the category feature, which is more suitable for creating a hierarchical network of information. Use your judgment to decide which is best for a particular set of pages. | |
