See [[Help:Namespaces]]. 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.<br /> <br /> === How it works ===<br /> Slashes (/) within a page name break the page into parent and subpages, recursively, e.g.:<br /> <br /> * [[Help:Subpages]] - this page<br /> * [[Help:Subpages/subpage]] - child page<br /> * [[Help:Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage]] - grandchild page<br /> <br /> Note that the part of page names after a slash is case sensitive including the first letter.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> === Use of subpages ===<br /> There are various uses for the subpage feature. Some of the typical usages of subpages are:<br /> * to create archives of old discussions under a [[Help:Talk pages|talk page]]<br /> * to create scratchpad editing spaces under a [[Help:User page|user page]]<br /> * to create other language versions of a document in multilingual wikis<br /> <br /> Subpages are useful for organising 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 [[Help:Category|category]] feature, which is more suitable for creating a hierarchical network of information. <br /> <br /> {{Admin tip|tip=You can specify the namespaces to have the subpage feature enabled with {{mediawiki|Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages|$wgNamespacesWithSubpages}} array.}}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> * [[Meta:Help:Link#Subpage feature]]<br /> * [[Help:Variables#Page names]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Help|{{PAGENAME}}]]<br /> [[Category:Subpage|{{PAGENAME}}]]</div>
