Hello! I'm just curious about sub pages. I've seen a lot in KA these days, and I'm wondering what they are for and how to make them. Also, I would like to learn about KA sub page guidelines. Can you put the link for your sub page in your other programs? Also, can you add links for your own programs in sub pages? Thanks!

Hi Amy,

Since we don't have a built-in way to notify users when someone creates a new CS project, we've allowed sub pages as a restricted form of advertising to share new projects with other users. Any user can create a subpage, and it is simply a normal program with a discussion thread that allows users to "subscribe" to updates. Other users can subscribe by posting a single period (.) in the subscription thread as a comment, which will automatically hide their post (so the thread isn't filled with these) and allow them to receive notifications whenever the subpage author posts an announcement.

There are a few important restrictions that users need to follow when creating subpages:
- Users should not post the names of their subscribers or the number of subscribers that they have
- Users should not ask for votes
- Users should not advertise projects created by other users
However, you can:
- List your completed/popular projects in your subpage program
- Include the link to your subpage in the projects that you publish (either via code comments, on-screen text, or in the discussion area)
I hope this helps! Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
