New page

{{Template Doc|<nowiki>name|title</nowiki>}}
creates a link to a subpage of the current page.

Subpages are regular wiki pages.

But their name is the same as their parent page with some additional material on the end, separated by a slash "/".
For instance "Template:Link/Doc" is a subpage of "Template:Link".

You can create a link to a subpage with square brackets by starting it with a slash.

For instance, on a page called "Meetings" you might have:
<pre>
* [[/2011-02-11]]
* [[/2011-03-17]]
</pre>

The links will appear with the slash in their name, which is somewhat distracting:
{{demo|[[/2011-02-11]]}}

You can clean that up by providing an explicit link text:
{{demo|[[/2011-02-11|2011-02-11]]}}
But that's repetitive and difficult to read with longer subpage names.

Instead you can use
{{demo|<nowiki>{{subpage|2011-02-11}}</nowiki> | {{subpage|2011-02-11}} }}
The link doesn't show with a slash.

Finally, if you want, you can give an explicit link text:
{{demo|<nowiki>{{subpage|2011-02-11|Feb 11}}</nowiki> | {{subpage|2011-02-11|Feb 11}} }}
