Subpages

Hi!

I'm looking at moving over the DIPs but I think we need subpages in order to do it properly http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages It would be used to keep the DIP Archive and DIP Alternatives as on ProWiki. At least the WikiMeda help says that's a good use for subpages too. Seems without subpages we have to change the DIP process itself (See "Usage" in DIP1) which could get political?

Could we turn it on for the main namespace, or perhaps now is good time to actually create a DIP-namespace (Or "Dev"?) and have it turned on just there?

Am I right that all this feature does is generate a link to the "parent" page (page with the title up to the last slash)?

For another wiki, we've simply used a template for that. It also has the advantage that a page can have multiple "parents", and does not clutter URLs. Example: http://worms2d.info/Software

I'm not against enabling the feature, just making sure this is what you want. Let me know if I should go ahead and enable it. --Vladimir Panteleev (talk) 16:26, 24 November 2012 (CET)

Ha, yeah, I think you're right. Man, I'm learning a lot : ) Sorry for bugging you. I say we just keep it as it is for now, we can still use "/" in names to express the intention of a subpage, and then later if the link to the parent page is needed, we can activate it then perhaps, through a template or whatever seems best. --Kraybit (talk) 16:34, 24 November 2012 (CET)
