::*"Subpages were originally used on Wikipedia to differentiate between subjects to create topical hierarchies of articles, but this proved unworkable because articles tend to belong in more than one hierarchy. The present system of disambiguation was adopted instead, and the Wikipedia:Do not use subpages policy had to be rigorously enforced, as well as retroactively applied. As of 2010[update], the category system supports hierarchical organization while still allowing an article to belong to multiple categories."{{w|Wikipedia:Subpages#History of subpages}} | ::*"Subpages were originally used on Wikipedia to differentiate between subjects to create topical hierarchies of articles, but this proved unworkable because articles tend to belong in more than one hierarchy.

::Presumably as Appropedia grows it would tend to run into the same problem with article subpages that Wikipedia did: editors trying to use subpages like unavoidably rigid one-dimensional categories.
