HRFWiki2:Subpages

From Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki 2
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A subpage is a type of page that is part of a larger fanstuff, such as an episode of an email show. Subpages introduce some hierarchical organization into wiki pages, with levels of the hierarchy separated by slashes (/). A subpage of this page would be [[HRFWiki2:Subpages/subpage]], and its sub-subpage would be [[HRFWiki2:Subpages/subpage/subpage]]. The first part of the title must be the name of the original page, and after a slash (/), the second part may be whatever you want.

For example, if you make an email show called "Mr. Bland Emails", and the first email is called "homestar", don't create the page [[homestar]]. Instead, make the page [[Mr. Bland Emails/homestar]]. This way, if someone else wants to create a page titled [[homestar]], they are free to do so. Additionally, your subpage will automatically include a link at the top, directing you to the original page.

You can easily create piped links to subpages using the {{l}} template; {{l|Mr. Bland Emails|homestar}} produces an identical result to [[Mr. Bland Emails/homestar|homestar]].

Subpages aren't just for fanstuff. You can also create subpages for your userpage by typing [[User:3.89.163.120/subpage]] (replacing "subpage" with the subpage name). You can use user subpages for your signature, a work in progress, or editing tests. For further information on how to use user subpages, see HRFWiki2:User space.
