In that case number would be good. i was using letter for now to get the A, AA, and AAA. However, 1A, 1B and 1C works equally well.

Don't you think we should be using numerical IDs? Surely we'll have more than 26 subpage types in the long run. I anticipate hundreds... --Larry Sanger 14:39, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Default button option
Thinking a bit more about the default vs optional subpages, there seem to be two formats to consider.
- Subpages are always in the same relative order along the top. Conseqently if there are two defaults A page and D page, all pages will have A and D. But if B and C pages are present then the buttons will appear in the order A,B,C and D.
- Subpages relative order along the top will depend on which subpages are designated as default. Conseqently if there are two defaults A page and D page, all pages will have A and D. But if B and C pages are present then the buttons will appear in the order A, D, B and C.
Option one has the advantage that only values AAA and DDD in this list have to be designated Default. BBB and CCC would be left blank. This is how it is currently coded.
For the second option, BBB and CCC would have to be designated as Optional too, but it has the advantage that the default buttons are always clustered together (is that an advantage?). It would be easy to code it this way too. Chris Day (talk) 16:25, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
