This is a proposal to change how the MediaWiki software displays subpages. This isn't really an issue over a Wikipedia because subpages in the main namespace are disabled, but using subpages at Wikisource is a standard way of dividing up works, leaving only a table of contents at the root article.
The problem is that this results in pages titles like this: United States Code/Title 35/Chapter 14/Section 151 or even Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series II/Volume I/Constantine/The Life of Constantine/Book II/Chapter 23 which IMHO looks more like a file system than a user-friendly website. I would suggest United States Code » Title 35 » Chapter 14 » Section 151 or my own favourite United States Code » Title 35 » Chapter 14 » Section 151 (With "Section 151" in bigger font.) This would effectively involve moving the subpages div above the title and changing the title from the entire path to just the subpage name. See: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Scriptorium#Subpage_formatting for the discussion I started on Wikisource and further down the same page http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/ Wikisource:Scriptorium#Subpage_formatting:_some_more_examples for some formatted versions of the above examples and http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Nicene_and_Post- Nicene_Fathers:_Series_II/Volume_I/Constantine/ The_Life_of_Constantine/Book_II/Chapter_23 and http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Treaty_on_European_Union/ Protocol_on_the_convergence_criteria_referred_to_in_Article_109j_of_the_ Treaty_establishing_the_European_Community for examples of how ugly the current setup can be.
