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

<nowiki><splist

showpath=full

/></nowiki>

would make that page dynamically list

* BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2009-02-12

* [[BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2009-02-12]]

* BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2008-12-17

* [[BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2008-12-17]]

* BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2008-12-10

* [[BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes/2008-12-10]]

Disclaimer: I've not used this extension, but it sounds great :)

<nowiki>{{Special:Prefixindex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}</nowiki>

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

By the way, Semantic MediaWiki cannot run a query "show me all subpages of BugSquad/Meetings/Minutes", you'd have to put

[[Category:BugSquad]][[Category:Meeting minutes]]

in each and query for those. You should probably categorize subpages anyway, as [[~~WikiTeam~~/~~WikiGuide~~/~~PageCreation~~]] recommends. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 04:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
