'''Subpages''' introduce some hierarchical organization into wiki pages, with levels of the hierarchy separated by slashes (<code>/</code>).

=== Where it works ===
By default, MediaWiki's subpage feature is turned off in the main namespace, but can be used on talk pages and user pages. 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. On ACCWiki subpages are turned on for all namespaces.

=== How it works ===
Slashes (/) within a page name break the page into parent and subpages, recursively, e.g.:

* [[How To Use Subpages]] - this page
* [[How To Use Subpages/subpage]] - child page
* [[How To Use Subpages/subpage/sub-subpage]] - grandchild page

Note that the part of page names after a slash is case sensitive '''including the first letter'''.

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.

=== Use of subpages ===
There are various uses for the subpage feature. Some of the typical usages of subpages are:
* To organize content that would be too big for a single page, especially when the sections will receive many small edits.
* To create archives of old discussions under a talk page.
* To create scratchpad editing spaces under a user page.
