Memory Alpha:Subpages

Subpages are a way to arrange content in a tree-like structure. If a wikilink to a page contains a forward slash character ("/") in the article title, the preceding part is considered the parent page title, while the part following the forward slash is considered the subpage title.

For example, the link Parent/Sub would link to a subpage "Sub" of the parent page "Parent".

A link starting with a forward slash (for example /Sub will link to a subpage of the page the link is located on.

Using subpages
The subpage feature is useful in several cases, including:


 * User pages:Since users only have a single page allotted to them, subpages may help them organize their content better.
 * Talk pages:On talk pages, subpages may be used to archive old discussions for future reference.
 * Maintenance functions: For example, all deletion discussions are located on subpages of Memory Alpha: Pages for deletion.

Main namespace
Subpages are not to be used when naming articles in main namespace. The articles should be "flat" rather than organized in a tree structure, therefore the accepted standard is to give the article a title that may be used as if in normal conversation. Slashes can be used in an article title if they are part of the title.

Non-article pages should not be attached to articles by using subpages in the main namespace. That includes source material, maintenance lists or procedural pages, etc. Temporary or candidate versions of a page should be placed in the user's namespace or the article's talk namespace.
