Hi, I'm AtticusX.

Most of my edits are copyedits (cleaning up typos and grammatical mistakes and so on), but sometimes I'll find reliable sources on a topic I'm keen on and I'll spend a while converting those sources into new Wikipedia content.

My interests are varied and include: themed entertainment, classical and world music, circus and other performing arts, and geographical locations.

One of my pet peeves is advertising or brand promotion.

I think Wikipedia's pretty nifty as a means of sharing knowledge and promoting self-directed learning.

How to get a list of a page's subpages

Subpages are pages that have a parent page. They share their parent page's title, followed by a "/" (slash), followed by their own name. The Wikipedia, Portal, and User namespaces allow subpages. WikiProjects, user pages and Portals often have subpages. Below are two options to obtain a list of subpages for a particular page.

* Option 1: In the left toolbar, under tools, select Page Information and an information page is shown. In the first table, there is a link for Subpages of this page.

* Option 2: Click on Special pages in the toolbox menu on the left side of your screen. Then click on All pages with prefix which is under the header Lists of pages. Then select the namespace the page is in (from the pulldown menu), and enter the pagename in the inbox, and add a forward slash (/) to the end of the pagename. So if the pagename is "Wikipedia", then you should enter Wikipedia/ in the inbox. Then press the Show button. The subpages are displayed at the bottom. If nothing happens after pressing "Show", this means the page has no subpages.
