Now that Wikibooks is promoting subpages (see [[b:Wikibooks:Naming policy]]) for writing book chapters, it would be very useful to have an easy way for linking to sibling subpages, i.e. to different chapters of the current book. Inside [[Wikijunior Solar System/Mercury]] one could write: The next planet going away from the [[../Sun|]] is [[../Venus|]]. Note that I have also included the feature defined in #3114 This feature would also facilitate future book title changes.
That would be [[/Sun]].
No, that would be [[../Sun|]] or from [[Wikijunior Solar System/Mars]] it would be [[/Phobos]], as in [[Wikijunior Solar System/Mars/Phobos]]. This is a very common naming convention on Wikibooks, and a way to designate sub modules... essentially sub chapters. Wikibooks is complicated in that the 32K limit MediaWiki software "requests" that you keep each page within is a serious limiting factor. Even a single chapter of a book is often considerably longer than 32K, which the point of Wikibooks is precisely to write content that is longer in nature. There would also be a need to "move up", so something like [[..]] would move you down to the "parent" article/book module.
[[/Foobar]] *is* a sibling link if you're on a subpage, unless we've got some serious bugs in subpage handling that nobody's mentioned.
No, [[/Stuff]] or [[/Foobar]] is to a subpage from the main parent page. However, [[../BarFoo]] does seem to work just fine for me in Wikibooks when going between two different sibling sub pages. [[../]] also seems to work just fine for going "back" to the parent page.
Ok, [[../|Parent]] and [[../Foobar]] works for me. I think I tested it, but I may have done it before the feature was implemented. Should I close the bug?
