Template:SubPage BackLink

Template documentation (for the template shown above, sometimes hidden or invisible)

(Main) Purpose

Drops a link to the parent-page from a sub-page.

In page-name "MainPage / sub1 / sub2", "sub1" and "sub2" are deemed sub-pages for "MainPage" and "MainPage/sub1".

Note that sub-pages are a virtual thing. As a media-wiki site has no real folder structures, other than its defined namespaces.

Intended to be used at the top of a page.

Syntax

{{SubPage BackLink}} -- Drops back one level (if possible).

{{SubPage_BackLink|2..n}} -- Drops back two or more levels (if possible).

Example

See What links here for active used cases.

Optional general use

For linking back to a paren-page that's not part of a "MainPage / sub1 / sub2" style relation. The "page=" parameter can be used.

Like: {{SubPage_BackLink|page=<Target Pagename>}}
