Manual:Subpage

Subpages introduce some hierarchical organization into wiki pages, with levels of the hierarchy separated by slashes (/).

Creating Content structuring subpages

Create a subpage by using a slash.

                [[User:Username/Subpage]]

            

It's not possible to use forward slashes in the title of a page because MediaWiki will create a subpage.

Use slashes to create more than one subpage:

                    Help:Subpages - "page" in the namespace help<br>
    Help:Subpages/subpage - child page<br>
    Help:Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage - grandchild page<br>
    Help:Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage/sub-sub-subpage - great grandchild page<br>
    Help:Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage/sub-sub-subpage/sub-sub-sub-subpage - great great grandchild page

[[Installation Guide/System Preparation Windows/IIS]]

Examples

Subpages are useful for organising used to organize 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.

There are various uses for the subpage feature. Some of the typical usages of subpages are:

• 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

Typical applications are:

• Create Modular Pages: For a larger topic, you can create a main page and link it to individual detail pages. The advantage is that the detail pages can then be specifically linked from other pages.
• Creating archives: If the discussions on the user discussion page become too long, file them in a subpage.
• Other languages: If the content of a page should be available in other languages, you can, for example, B. to the main page in English create a sub page in German.
