Wikiversity:Subpages

Wikiversity allows creation of subpages for articles in the main namespace. Subpages are given names such as "Page/Subpage". Subpages are used to help organise individual projects such as courses, seminars, and research projects.

Example of a main namespace page with a subpage.

Courses
Courses are learning projects that can be joined at any time. Courses can have subpages like:
 * Source materials (texts and articles)
 * Lists
 * Subtopics
 * Seminars (see )
 * Help desk (for list of "tutors")
 * Participants (students or "scholars")
 * Quizzing and testing materials
 * Papers, etc.
 * Papers by students
 * Essays by students or experts (including a course instructor) that include opinion, that need not be neutral, or that include original research or personal experience.

Classes
Classes are guided by instructors. These take place over a certain time frame. (Maybe not needed)

Classes on Wikiversity could use subpages for some or all of the following:
 * Source materials
 * Instructors
 * Rosters
 * Syllabi
 * Quizzes
 * Tests
 * Study guides
 * Papers
 * Papers by students
 * Reflections by students
 * Assignments by students
 * Whatever else you might find useful. Please be creative and innovative. Wikiversity is somewhat of an experiment!

For example you could use a page like Introduction to Engineering/Student848/Reflection 1, Introduction to Engineering/Roster, Introduction to Engineering/Quiz 1, Introduction to Engineering/Exam 1 study guide/Answers, etc. Please use subpages so long as they are useful!

Seminars
Seminars are egalitarian. If part of a course, student-led, though experts may participate. These may be split into projects, which may or may not have time limits.
 * Instructors
 * Projects
 * Source materials
 * Other materials (for art projects, etc.)
 * Submission and critique
 * Discussion

Research

 * Brainstorming
 * Different sections of research (results, methods, introductions, etc.)
 * Publishing papers
 * Allowing for peer review
 * Start a peer reviewed journal at Wikiversity

Userpages

 * Archives
 * Sandboxes (testpages)
 * Workspaces
 * Educational related blogs

(learning) Projects

 * Organization, organization, organization

Please note that Lunar Boom Town and CisLunarFreighter makes copious use of subpages.

Once you have an account here at Wikiversity for a few days or so, the move function can be a useful tool! It is usually better to move a page than to copy the page content under a new page name. This keeps the history intact.

(Page moves can sometimes be difficult to undo. A page move ordinarily leaves a redirect in place, and "double redirects," where a redirect links to a redirect, don't work, so some cleanup may be required. If the redirect has been edited, the move cannot be simply undone, a custodian is required. So be careful when moving pages.)

Subpage(s) to this project page
What could be more appropriate for a page on subpages than an illustration of the topic with a subpage of its own?

Forking and organizing (permalink) is an essay as written by one author (as you will see at the top of the page). The permalink is a "permanent version." That version cannot be changed, though it can be hidden by a custodian. The current version is shown by /Forking and organizing. As the essay is not attributed (except in page history), any user may edit it.

See w:Help:Permanent link for information about how to find and use permanent links.
