Sub-directories

This site allows the contents to be organized by placing related pages into sub-directories. You can do this by editing the page and changing the "URL directory," which will automatically move the page to where you specify. If the directory doesn't already exist, it will be created. You should separate multiple sub-directory names with forward slashes (/).

Notice that this very page is in the /help/ sub-directory.

• To link to a page in the same sub-directory, just write out the link like normal, ignoring the sub-directories. So, for example, to link to /help/editing-instructions from here you'd write [editing instructions], which becomes editing instructions.

• To link to a page in a different sub-directory, you need to put the sub-directory name before the page title, including slashes on both sides. So to link to /music/compression-idea from here you'd write [/music/ compression idea], which becomes compression idea. Don't forget the slashes on both ends, and don't forget to put a space after the sub-directory name.

Generally, sub-directories should be used to organize pages, not to identify them. The page title should always be descriptive enough to identify the page without knowing the page's location. Also, for the most part pages will link to other pages in the same directory; since you can link to pages in the same directory without specifying the directory explicitly, you shouldn't normally have to know what directory a page is in to link to it.

See the site index for a full listing of pages and where they are located.

[Excellent concept and excellent index. But the whole thing does not make any sense if you don't indicate on the left of the page title what category it belongs to.

Let me get you a URL of a wiki that does your concept but puts the directory title where it should be. I'll be back.

PMWiki is a section. Look how he puts it over where the file is.
