Automatically listing subpages
This wiki is heavily subpage-oriented. It's a waste of effort to manually maintain a list of links to subpages, e.g. on the BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes page. Instead, you could use the SubPageList3 extension to generate lists of subpages. I think
<splist
kidsonly=yes
showpath=full
/>
would make that page dynamically list
- BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2009-02-12
- BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2008-12-17
- BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2008-12-10
Disclaimer: I've not used this extension, but it sounds great :) So maybe SubPageList3 should be installed.
An alternative that doesn't require an extension is discussed on SubPageList3's talk page: use the Special:Prefixindex feature by transcluding
{{Special:Prefixindex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}
Let's try it for BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes:

Semantic MediaWiki doesn't (yet) do subpages
By the way, Semantic MediaWiki cannot run a query "show me all subpages of BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes", you'd have to put in each and query for those. You should probably categorize subpages anyway, as Wiki Team/Guide/Page Creation recommends. -- Skierpage 04:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
