Subpages introduce some hierarchical organization into wiki pages, with levels of the hierarchy separated by slashes (/).
Creating 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.
Subpages may have more child subpages; this scheme can be continued arbitrarily far.
- Help:Subpages - "page" in the namespace help
- Help:Subpages/subpage - child page
- Help:Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage - grandchild page
- Help:Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage/sub-sub-subpage - great grandchild page
- Help:Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage/sub-sub-subpage/sub-sub-sub-subpage - great great grandchild page
MediaWiki interprets slashes as a new page, so a slash should not be used in article names
Typical applications 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
