Sub pages
Mediawikis usually support subpages of the format "Main topic/sub-page". This doesn't seem to be working here - it's probably a PHP variable. Possibly it got switched off to prevent confusion as regards pages like "9/11". Although that is an excellent name for a page, it conflicts with the sub-page standard, and I suspect we may wish to use sub-pages to give structure to articles in conjunction with SMW. For example, EVENT/PERPETRATORS, EVENT/CUI BONO?, EVENT/EVIDENCE, EVENT/MEDIA COVERAGE possibly in conjunction with a more systematic approach to properties. i.e. (EVENT has perpetrators EVENT/PERPETRATORS) or some such. This is still just a hunch at this stage, but some sort of policy on subpages would probably be a good idea in any case. Robin (talk) 19:34, 2 January 2014 (GMT)
- Sub-pages are turned off by default in the Main NS see Help:Subpages and more complete discussion here. I agree it would be good to enable them in MAIN too. Problem is the "/" is disallowed in pagenames where it is turned on and we have quite a few existing ones - mainly 9/11 related. There are also a few categories using it. All would have to be renamed leaving no redirect. That would screw up links to our most visited existing page (9/11:Israel did it) but I guess that's a small price to pay for the extra functionality provided. Need to cogitate about how best to implement this --Peter P (talk) 20:00, 2 January 2014 (GMT)
