| + | ===== Creating a sub-topic ===== | ||
| + | As of 2026-10 we have not yet done this in earnest, but here are the principle we currently imagine: | ||
| + | - Put sub-topics in the same space (folder, directory, namespace) as the parent topic. Don't create sub-spaces. | ||
| + | - Think about the name carefully: | ||
| + | - to avoid confusion with the main topic page name; | ||
| + | - to make it easy to link to using its name. | ||
| + | - Create the page in a similar way to ordinary topic pages (see above). | ||
| + | - When the sub-topic is ready to view, link to it from the main topic page. | ||
| + | - You can do this in the main text in any case. | ||
| + | - Also consider adding a link under a new sub-heading, | ||
| + | - Clearly link back at the top of the sub-topic to the main topic page. | ||
| + | - Feel much freer if it may be worth not following the template for sub-topics. | ||
