Problem
You want to make a page that is about your work on something that many people work on, but you want this page to be yours.
Example
You are in DANM 201 and want to make notes about the class. You could make LyleDANM-201, but this isn't as clean as...

Solution: Make a "Sub page"

On your page, or the page you want to be the "parent"

make a "link" called "[/DANM-201HistoryOfNewMedia]"

This will make a link to a page called: http://danm.ucsc.edu/web/yourpage/DANM-201HistoryOfNewMedia (where "yourpage" is the page you made the link from.

The actual Wiki Page is called "yourname/DANM-201HistoryOfNewMedia" so from other places you can link to this page with [yourpage/DANM-201HistoryOfNewMedia]

This will function better when (read if) we ever get the auto navigation thing working for sub pages. Then you will have pages that have children have a nav to those child pages. On the course page that navigation is static-ish.

Example

Edit this page to see how one would do these examples.

I can like to a sub page lyle /ScratchPad, I can link to the same page but give it a label of lyle's scratch.

I can make a sub-page from here by first writing a link to it with a leading slash, save the page and then click on the question mark to started creating it. / example (I already created this).
