iCapital!

Are NSwiki entries case sensitive? I'm just asking for the reason that I love things to be, Capitalized for some reason, and tend to turn many things into a proper noun. I created an entry regarding the Multiverse, realized there were entries linking to it, and went about Capitalizing the word Multiverse in all those entries. Anal retentive? Yes. While doing this though, in the page on Earth, I saw the couplet "fractal reality," and couldn't help but change it to "Fractal Reality." I did, but then the link wouldn't work! So I had to settle with "Fractal reality." Ahem. The point- Case sensitive NSwiki? --Fodian Federa 00:52, 25 Oct 2004 (GMT)

The first character of any NSwiki page is capitalized by default. Pages will link to the article regardless of whether it was linked in lower or upper case.
Beyond that, NSwiki IS case sensitive. One possible solution would be to make Fractal Reality a redirect page to Fractal reality. Another would be to use the | symbol in links to pipe link results to a differently capitalized page. Frisbeeteria Θtalk

When to use subpages

Subpages are pages which are separated with a "/" from their mother page, for example, NSwiki:Deletion log/Archive. When you visit a subpage you will see an automatic backlink to the mother page. Subpages are allowed in the User:, Talk: and NSwiki: namespaces, and with care and forethought may also be used in the main namespace. Plan your subpages beforehand. You don't want to build a subpage structure too deep, as it makes it harder for others to link to relevant pages. Subpages can be useful for organizing and archiving content. You can create a subpage by typing [[/Name]] on the page in question, and if you end the link with a slash - [[/Name/]] - the slashes are hidden in the output.
