'''Subpages''' introduce some hierarchical organization into wiki pages, with levels of the hierarchy separated by slashes (<code>/</code>).<br />
<br />
=== Where it works ===<br />
By default, MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off in the main namespace, but can be used on [[Help:Talk pages|talk pages]] and [[Help:User page|user pages]]. 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 />
