[edit intro]

Article-specific subpages are subpages that are not in the system-wide list of standard optional subpages (see Template:Subpage list). Up to three different additional 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.

To add the article-specific subpage to the article, edit the Metadata page for that article; edit the fields "tab1 = " and "tab1url = (or tab2, or tab3) to contain that name. Save the Metadata, and go back to the article page. Up to three different article-specific subpages can be designated at the moment.

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.

Next, each new article-specific subpage type must have the correct associated header and footer templates for it to functional correctly. They have names like {{Isotopes header}} and {{Isotopes footer}} (for the article-specific Isotopes subpage). To do this, use the following links:

Click on the links (in a new window, so you can continue to read the instructions here), edit the URL in the URL bar of your browser to replace the "NEWNAME" with your new article-specific subpage name, open that "edit" page, set up your new subpage's header and footer (they may be blank) and save them.
