Define and display hierarchies

  • Browsing through a hierarchy can be very insightful. Defining and browsing hierarchies should be made more flexible and powerful. My suggestions:

  • First suggestion

    • Three options to define a hierarchy

      • Nested references: [[partial superficial [[parotidectomy]]]]
        • use in cases where the name of the sub-topic includes the name of the parent topic
      • Using the slash: [[parotidectomy/extracapsular dissection]]
        • use in cases where the name of the sub-topic does not include the name of the parent topic but you want it to appear with it
      • Using a special page property: page property parent
        • e.g. in the page “enucleation” define the property parent:: parotidectomy
        • use in cases where the name of the sub-topic does not include the name of the parent topic and you do not want it to appear with it
          • it is like defining an alias:: enucleation under the page “parotidetomy/enucleation”
    • Second suggestion

      • Under the page “parotidectomy” following hierarchy will be listed (assuming parotidectomy is a subtopic of Surgeries)
        • Hierarchy
          • Surgeries
            • parotidectomy
              • partial superficial
              • extracapsular dissection
              • enucleation
        • In the current implementation only parent topics appear under the Hierarchy section of a page - in my opinion it should be extended to list both parent and child topics as in the above example
