So, for example, if you are on the sub-page called: [[Parent\/Child|Child]], and you add the following syntax on that page, a sub-page will be created without the need to include the full prefix of the corresponding parentage.\n<\/p>\n<pre><code>[[\/Grandchild\/|Grandchild page]]<\/code>\n<\/pre>\n<p><b>Notes<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> The name of the sub-page must be included <b>between <i>two<\/i> forward slashes (<code>\/<\/code>)<\/b> to instruct the wiki to create that page as a sub-page of the parent where the syntax is added.\n<\/li>\n<li> This only works for creating a sub-page of the parent, not subsequent children in the generation.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Mediawiki_software_features_to_track_pages\">Mediawiki software features to track pages<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Mediawiki software provides valuable features to help you find associated pages. From the &#8216;Tools&#8217; menu, there are two links that will help you find pages associated with any page in the wiki:\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li> <b>What links here<\/b>: From any page in the wiki, using the &#8216;What links here&#8217; option, you can generate a list of every page that links to that page. In the context of developing a course, this is useful when trying to locate any &#8216;Outline&#8217; page that is using a given page in the wiki.\n<\/li>\n<li> <b>Sub-pages<\/b>: From any page that has sub-pages associated with it, you can click on the &#8216;Sub-pages&#8217; option to generate a list of all the children pages associated with that page.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Finally, sometimes when you are developing course materials, you may create a page and forget to include this as a sub-page on your outline page. When you are logged into the wiki, there is a &#8216;Contributions&#8217; link associated with your Userpage. Clicking on this link will generate a list of every page where you have contributed edits. This is a useful feature to locate pages on which you have been working.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Establish_an_outline_page_for_authoring_materials\">Establish an outline page for authoring materials<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For the purposes of this course, you will create an &#8216;Outline&#8217; page as a sub-page of your Userpage in the wiki. This will make it easier for your facilitator and fellow learners to find the pages you are working on.\n<\/p>\n<p>When developing online course sites in the future, the &#8216;Outline&#8217; page is normally set up in the main wiki area (rather than your user page). Should you wish to develop course materials in the future and re-use any of the pages you created on this course, it will be easy to copy or move these to a new outline page.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel iDevice\">\n\t<div class=\"panel-heading idevice-heading\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pedagogicalicon\" alt=\"activity\" src=\"https:\/\/pacificopencourses.col.org\/edt4ol\/wp-content\/themes\/oeru-course\/idevices\/Icon_activity.png\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Activity<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p><b>Purpose<\/b>: Create an outline page as a sub-page of your Userpage.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Part 1: Create an &#8216;Outline&#8217; sub-page<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Log in to WikiEducator and go to your userpage.
