A search for "subpage" on MediaWiki.org returns, among the top three
hits, http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgNamespacesWithSubpages
and http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php#Enabling_subpages.

In the absence of a decent page explaining it, I'll fill in, in brief,
that when "subpages" are enabled for a namespace, MediaWiki considers,
e.g. "Page/Subpage" in a title to be more meaningful; it will show
little "breadcrumb" navigation links at the top of the page.

Note that whether or not subpages are enabled, one can find all titles
matching a pattern, e.g. "Page/*" using Special:Prefixindex.
