Alternative usage

The template has two forms depending on what pages are missing:

  • Appearance 1 text will appear on any page that has an article page but no associated metadata page.
  • Appearance 2 text will appear on a page with no associated metadata page or article page (orphaned subpages).

Appearance 1

  • The text below will appear on any page that has an article page but no associated metadata page.

Subpages format requires a metadata page

(if this template appeared due to a page move see instructions at the bottom)

Using the following instructions will complete the process of creating this article's subpages.

Pleasecreate.gif the "metadata template".
  1. Click the blue "metadata template" link above to create the page.
  2. On the page that appears paste in the article's title across from pagename =.
  3. You might also fill out the checklist part of the form. Ignore the rest.
    For background, see Using the Subpages template Don't worry--you'll get the hang of it right away.
  4. Remember to hit Save!

However, you can create articles without subpages. Just delete the {{subpages}} template from the top of this page and this prompt will disappear. :) Don't feel obligated to use subpages, it's more important that you write sentences, which you can always do without writing fancy code.

Due to a page move

This template may appear after a page move. In that case the old subpages and metadata template also need to be moved to the new name. They can usually be found at the following link.

Appearance 2

  • The text below will appear on a page with no associated metadata page or article page (orphaned subpages). This is transcluded from the template {{Orphan subpage}}.
