Subpage

A subpage usually refers to a lower level web page in a website or wiki with the same main name as the starting level page plus a slash and text identifying the location of the subpage. More precisely, it refers to a part of the "path" in the hierarchical part of the Uniform Resource Identifier (also known as URI or URL).

For example, if the name of the main page were ":first", a typical subpage would be called ":first/second". In most implementations this system is recursive, so that subpages can have their own subpages (e.g. ":first/second/third").
