When the wiki stores lists of pages, such as pages that are locked or pages that you want to be emailed if changed, it uses a GlobList.

This is a list of page names, separated by white space. The "glob" bit is that as well as full page names, it can contain glob patterns. "*" stands in for any part of the page name, and "?" for any single letter of its name. So if you wanted to list all the pages about tea, and any [[SubPage]]s of the SandBox, but not including the SandBox itself:

*tea* SandBox/*

You can also prefix an item in the list with "!" to skip matching any pages that match it. So if you want to specify all pages except for Discussion pages and the SandBox:

* !SandBox !*/Discussion
