Subdivisions [edit]

The Entrepreneurship program is a Wikiversity Division. The program can grow to have subdivisions and departments as pages in the Topic namespace (their names must start with the "Topic:" prefix). Individual departments can be used by multiple schools. Schools that use (link to) the same department should cooperate to develop the department. Subdivisions are used by large divisions to help organize related departments. Not all divisions have subdivisions. If you need a subdivision in your division, you can use the Template:Subdivision boilerplate template to start a subdivision.
