Common use cases: DLC, memes with some distinct examples that need categorising differently. | |||
In some situations you have something which is small enough it should really just be a section of a larger article, but also it is distinct enough it should really have its own categories, without them all being mixed into the larger article. | In some situations you have something which is small enough it should really just be a section of a larger article, but also it is distinct enough it should really have its own categories, without them all being mixed into the larger article. | ||

* Make sure the subpage makes sense if someone comes to it via categories and reads it as a separate page. | * Make sure the subpage makes sense if someone comes to it via categories and reads it as a separate page. | ||
** Use <code><<nowiki />noinclude></code> tags to add parts that won't be included into the parent page if they are redundant there. Example: the Joeism banner on [[Japanese_Mispronunciations/Sun_Deer]]. | ** Use <code><<nowiki />noinclude></code> tags to add parts that won't be included into the parent page if they are redundant there.

** You can even include parts of the parent page into the subpage, e.g: <code>{<nowiki />{#lst:Parent|section}}</code> will include that section into the child page (of course make sure this is wrapped in <code><<nowiki />noinclude></code> tags). Example: the explanation on [[Japanese_Mispronunciations/Sun_Deer]]. | ** You can even include parts of the parent page into the subpage, e.g: wrap <code><<nowiki />section begin="section_name" />...<<nowiki />section end="section_name" /></code> around a section then <code>{<nowiki />{#lst:Parent|section}}</code> will include that section into the child page (of course make sure this is wrapped in <code><<nowiki />noinclude></code> tags).

* If the parent article needs context for the subpage, you can use <code><<nowiki />includeonly></code> tags to have parts that don't appear when you are on the subpage itself, like a subtitle for the section.

* If making links to the section/subpage, use <code>{<nowiki />{EmbeddedSubpageLink|Parent|Subpage}}</code> to link to it, this will link to the section, unless you are *on* the subpage, where it'll be a self-link. This makes it work nicely in navboxes and the like where you want it to be a self-link for clarity they are on that page. | * If making links to the section/subpage, use <code>{<nowiki />{EmbeddedSubpageLink|Parent|Subpage}}</code> to link to it, this will link to the section, unless you are *on* the subpage, where it'll be a self-link.

* Add a note to editors on how to edit the subpages, as it's a bit non-obvious. E.g: <code><<nowiki/>!--- If you want to edit these subpages, the easiest way is to scroll down to the "Templates used on this page:" section below here and click the edit link next to the subpage you want. --></code> | |||
