Hello all,
After first installing our wiki, I did not activate subpages (I didn't know that you had to). Now I've enabled them by adding $wgNamespacesWithSubpages[NS_MAIN] = true; to LocalSettings.php, and all seems to work fine.
However, there are a few previously-created (pseudo-)subpages - e.g. User:WikiSysOp/ToDo - which are not converted to "proper" subpages automatically. They seem to be regarded simply as pages with a slash in their title (thus missing the automatic "breadcrumbs" link to the parent page). Is there any way I can fix that? Normally I'd delete the respective pages and re-create them from scratch - but since it's not possible to completely erase all records of an existing page (AFAIK), that's not an option here.
Thanks,
F.

What happens if you move the article to a temp name and then move it back?

I've tried that; it doesn't work, unfortunately. In fact, when I create other subpages for the same parent (e.g. [[User:WikiSysOp/Contact]]), it seems those too will just be pseudo-subpages - which is quite annoying... (While creating subpages for parents that didn't have pseudo-subpages before works just fine.)

Have you tried moving the main article (rather than the subpage) somewhere else as well? I'm not quite sure what order to move things in, but you might be able to trick it with some combination.

I've tried moving things around a little (thus probably creating quite a mess of empty/redirecting nonsense pages), but to no avail. However, the [[User:WikiSysOp]] page was empty before - i.e. only [[User:WikiSysOp/ToDo]] existed. After creating some content in [[User:WikiSysOp]], [[User:WikiSysOp/ToDo]] suddenly had the breadcrumb - so at least that worked...

Yes, that's the "rule". If you have page [1 exist]<--[2 exist]<--[ ]<--[4 exist] then the page "[4 exist]" don't have a bread crump to previous (since no such page exist), only the page "[2 exist]" will have a link to "[1 exist]".

Yeah, I figured as much. Thanks for the clarification though!
Nevertheless, I still need to figure out a way to "repair" the pseudo-subpages whose (pseudo-)parents did content in the first place...
