Not in stock MediaWiki. The typical way to do this is to use subpages: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Subpages But you have to rename the pages (and the names can get long/ugly). > Among the reasons for doing this is that, to build the PDF based on the > static index, currently I recursively concatenate first the body of a > page, followed by each of its children I don't know how it works, but Extension:Collector might be useful to you: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Collection > I thought "transclusion" was a candidate, because pages are recursively > transcluded to build the PDF, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Transclusion > > In the wiki however, I don't actually want to display pages embedded in > each other - instead I want links to child pages. This represents enough > information about the hierarchical structure to build the PDF It might be possible in principle to use some kind of template that normally renders as a link, but could be persuaded to render as an inclusion under some conditions. I'm not sure offhand what the best way to do this would be. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
