Wikiversity:Subpages
 |
You can help develop this proposal, share your thoughts, or discuss its adoption as a Wikiversity policy, guideline, or process. References or links should describe this page as a "proposal". |
Wikiversity allows creation of subpages for articles in the main namespace. Subpages are given names such as "Page/Subpage". Subpages are used to help organise individual projects such as courses, seminars, and research projects.
Example of a main namespace page with a subpage.
Courses
[edit source]Courses are learning projects that can be joined at any time. Courses can have subpages like:
- Source materials (texts and articles)
- Lists
- Subtopics
- Seminars (see #Seminars)
- Help desk (for list of "tutors")
- Participants (students or "scholars")
- Quizzing and testing materials
- Papers, etc.
- Papers by students
- Essays by students or experts (including a course instructor) that include opinion, that need not be neutral, or that include original research or personal experience.
Classes
[edit source]Classes are guided by instructors. These take place over a certain time frame. (Maybe not needed)
Classes on Wikiversity could use subpages for some or all of the following:
- Source materials
- Instructors
- Rosters
- Syllabi
- Quizzes
- Tests
- Study guides
- Papers
- Papers by students
- Reflections by students
- Assignments by students
- Whatever else you might find useful. Please be creative and innovative. Wikiversity is somewhat of an experiment!
For example you could use a page like Introduction to Engineering/Student848/Reflection 1, Introduction to Engineering/Roster, Introduction to Engineering/Quiz 1, Introduction to Engineering/Exam 1 study guide/Answers, etc. Please use subpages so long as they are useful!
Seminars
[edit source]Seminars are egalitarian. If part of a course, student-led, though experts may participate. These may be split into projects, which may or may not have time limits.
- Instructors
- Projects
- Source materials
- Other materials (for art projects, etc.)
- Submission and critique
- Discussion
Research
[edit source]- Brainstorming
- Different sections of research (results, methods, introductions, etc.)
- Publishing papers
- Allowing for peer review
- Start a peer reviewed journal at Wikiversity
Userpages
[edit source]- Archives
- Sandboxes (testpages)
- Workspaces
- Educational related blogs
(learning) Projects
[edit source]- Organization, organization, organization
Please note that Lunar Boom Town and CisLunarFreighter makes copious use of subpages.
Once you have an account here at Wikiversity for a few days or so, the move function can be a useful tool! It is usually better to move a page than to copy the page content under a new page name. This keeps the history intact.
(Page moves can sometimes be difficult to undo. A page move ordinarily leaves a redirect in place, and "double redirects," where a redirect links to a redirect, don't work, so some cleanup may be required. If the redirect has been edited, the move cannot be simply undone, a custodian is required. So be careful when moving pages.)
Subpage(s) to this project page
[edit source]What could be more appropriate for a page on subpages than an illustration of the topic with a subpage of its own?
Forking and organizing (permalink) is an essay as written by one author (as you will see at the top of the page). The permalink is a "permanent version." That version cannot be changed, though it can be hidden by a custodian. The current version is shown by /Forking and organizing. As the essay is not attributed (except in page history), any user may edit it.
See w:Help:Permanent link for information about how to find and use permanent links.
