[GRASS-dev] grass wiki - subpages

Hi all,

I have enabled subpages [1] in our mediawiki, eg.

http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/WxGUI/Map_Swipe

(see link to the main page under the line)

Enjoy, Martin

you can put also spaces around slash, it's seems to be more readable
for me as the title of the page. On the other hand URL is not so nice.

What you would prefer?

To me the white spaces look terrible :slight_smile: ... and ruin the nice urls.

...and without slashes the page title is harder to read for me.

In any case, I think that is good to have subpage feature available,
so thank you Martin. But I would prefer to use categories as default
option for organization. Even the mediawiki description of subpages
[1] says that:

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 category feature, which
is more suitable for creating a hierarchical network of information.

The main question for me is for what we want to use subpages?

(Sorry for this basic question but I'm not much familiar with mediawiki.)
