CZ:Article-specific subpages

[edit intro]

Article-specific subpages are tab-navigable subpages (i.e. they show up in the standard subpages navigation bar at the top of each page in a cluster) which are not in the system-wide list of standard optional subpages (see Template:Subpage list); they therefore have to be specially configured in each article which uses them.

Up to three different additional article-specific subpages per article may be defined.

Mechanics

There is a system-wide list of available article-specific subpage name/types below. Pick a suitable one, or if no suitable one exists, add a new one, using the instructions there. The subpage name should not be longer than ONE word.

To add the article-specific subpage to the article, edit the Metadata page for that article; edit the field "tab1 = " (or tab2, or tab3, as the case may be) to contain that name. (Up to three different article-specific subpages can be designated at the moment.) Save the Metadata, and go back to the article page.

Note that these subpages, like any other subpage which is part of a cluster, must have a {{subpages}} header in the first line for the subpage navigation bar to appear.

List

For technical reasons, we need to have a system-wide list of defined article-specific subpages. That list is currently here.

Before defining a new subpage type, it's probably worth dropping a line to the Forums to see what people think. Also, if you think this is a subpage type that might be reasonably widely used (on, say, 1% of all pages), it probably ought to be made a system-wide optional page; follow the directions at CZ:How to add a new subpage type.

Currently defined

• Isotopes - Information on different isotopes of an element

Defining a new article-specific subpage

First, pick a one-word name for the new subpage type. Add it to the list above (in alphabetic order, please), with a brief description of what it is for. (A full page describing it, linked to from the list, is nice, but not necessary.)
