-To link to or from a [[SubPage]], you can normally use a regular
-[[WikiLink]] that does not contain the name of the parent directory of
-the [[SubPage]]. Ikiwiki descends the directory hierarchy looking for a
-page that matches your link.
-
-For example, if FooBar/SubPage links to "OtherPage", ikiwiki will first
-prefer pointing the link to FooBar/SubPage/OtherPage if it exists, next
-to FooBar/OtherPage and finally to OtherPage in the root of the wiki.
-
-Note that this means that if a link on FooBar/SomePage to "OtherPage"
-currently links to OtherPage, in the root of the wiki, and FooBar/OtherPage
-is created, the link will _change_ to point to FooBar/OtherPage. On the
-other hand, a link from BazBar to "OtherPage" would be unchanged by this
-creation of a [[SubPage]] of FooBar.
-
-You can also specify a link that contains a directory name, like
-"FooBar/OtherPage" to more exactly specify what page to link to. This is
-the only way to link to an unrelated [[SubPage]].
-
-You can use this to, for example, to link from BazBar to "FooBar/SubPage",
-or from BazBar/SubPage to "FooBar/SubPage".
-
-You can also use "/" at the start of a link, to specify exactly which page
-to link to, when there are multiple pages with similar names and the link
-goes to the wrong page by default. For example, linking from
-"FooBar/SubPage" to "/OtherPage" will link to the "OtherPage" in the root
-of the wiki, even if there is a "FooBar/OtherPage".
-
-Also, if the wiki is configured with a userdir, you can link to pages
-within the userdir without specifying a path to them. This is to allow for
-easy linking to a user's page in the userdir, to sign a comment. These
-links are checked for last of all.
