Subpage

Revision as of 12:34, 8 October 2019 by P technik (talk | contribs)

Content structuring subpages

To structure wiki content, you can create subpages for a page.

Subpages are then displayed in the breadcrumb navigation of the page:

Create a subpage

To create a subpage, it is simply appended to the page name with a slash without spaces. Subpages can in turn have subpages:

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


Note: Since MediaWiki interprets slashes as subpages, you should not use slashes in page names.


Examples

Subpages are used to organize information hierarchically. You can use subpages in many ways

Typical applications are:

  • To 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.
  • To maintain archives: If the discussions on the user discussion page become too long, file them in a subpage.
  • To translate a page: If the content of a page should be available in other languages. You can create a subpage in German for an English page, for example.
