 == Creating Subpages == 
 Subpages are groups of pages that share a common prefix, which itself is another page. While this is also possible with "classic" wiki, by using names like {{{SomeTopicSubTopic}}}, the use of {{{SomeTopic/SubTopic}}} allows better navigational support, and you can omit the common prefix when linking from the parent page to the child page. 
 Thus, by using "/" to concatenate several WikiName''''''s, you can create arbitrarily deep hierarchies (within limits, especially the length of filenames on your system). In reality, subpages are normal pages that contain a "/" in their name, and thus they are stored besides all other pages in the file system. Subpages are a configurable feature, but they're on by default and it's recommended that you keep it that way, since the help pages themselves use this feature. 
 Links to sibling pages start with " ../ ", for example ../SubPages (a link to this page). 
 === Example ===
{{{ 
 
 HelpOnEditing/SubPages 
 [wiki:HelpOnEditing/SubPages This very page] 
 [wiki:Self:HelpOnEditing/SubPages This very page] 
 /ThirdLevel 
 [wiki:/ThirdLevel A page below this one] 
 ../SubPages 
 ["../"] (anonymous parent link) 
 [:../:free parent link]
}}} 
 
 === Display === 
 
 HelpOnEditing/SubPages 
 [[HelpOnEditing/SubPages|This very page]] 
 [[HelpOnEditing/SubPages|This very page]] 
 /ThirdLevel 
 [[/ThirdLevel|A page below this one]] 
 ../SubPages 
 [[../]] (anonymous parent link) 
 [[../|free parent link]] 
 
 /!\ Please do all of us a favour and don't create the /ThirdLevel pages, it's just an example!
