Except in the main namespace (article namespace), where the subpage feature has been disabled in the English Wikipedia, subpages are pages separated with a "/" (a slash) from their 'parent' page. Making a new [[link]] that begins with a / (slash) is the common way to start a subpage.
To link to it, type [[User:Example User/Subpage]] To transclude it (like a template) type {{User:Example User/Subpage}} The reason you would want to transclude it is if you want to put a header on every page, all you would need to put is {{User:Example User/Header}} , and you wouldn't need to put the code on each time.
Page names that start with "User:", followed by your user name, followed by a slash (/), are in your user space. To create one, edit your user page and add a link starting with a slash (/); for example, [[/Example]]. Save the page, and follow the link that was added to create the page.
After saving your user page, clicking on this link will provide you with a list of all pages containing the string "User:Your_Wikipedia_Name", which in our case includes the sandbox, the user page and, of course, the newly created subpage.

Wikis hosted with the MediaWiki software create subpages by adding a slash ("/") after the 'parent' page name. Subpages are used in Wikiversity , where the structure permits contributions by students at any academic level, [ 2 ] [ 3 ] and in both Wikibooks and Wikisource , where chapters are subpages of a book.
To get a list of all the subpages for a particular page, click on Special pages in the toolbox. Then click on All pages with prefix under "Lists of pages". Then select the namespace the page is in (from the pulldown menu), enter the pagename in the inbox with the caption Display pages with prefix, and press Show.
