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 mediawiki:Extension: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 [[mediawiki:Talk:Extension:SubPageList3|SubPageList3''s talk page]]: use the [[Special:Prefindex]] feature by transcluding
'''<nowiki>{{Special:Prefixindex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}.

Let's try it for BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes:

Seems to work, though as a result this page is now mis-categorized in those pages' categories. -- Skierpage 04:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

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 WikiTeam/WikiGuide/PageCreation recommends. -- Skierpage 04:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
