New pages outside book structure
You have recently been creating pages which are not included in any book structure. I think from the print version of a periodic table. Can you please check that the links used to create new pages do not put them unintentionally at the top level please? Thanks Recent Runes (talk) 23:24, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
 * This is the note I was writing when I had an edit conflict with Recent Runes. I went ahead and added it anyhow because it contains more detail.


 * Thanks for the work you're doing on the chemistry-related works here at WB. Before you go too much further though, please let me correct a mistake you may be making before it becomes a huge chore to sort out.  At Wikibooks, most pages should belong to a book.  This means that the page name should be constructed as Book_Name/Page_Name rather than just as Page_Name by itself.  At WIkipedia, it's OK to make a page like that stand on its own, but that's not the best practice here at Wikibooks.  To avoid this problem, please change the page hosting red links so that the links look like /Page/ rather than just Page .  The leading slash will cause the new page to be created under the book's hierarchy, and the trailing slash will suppress the book's name when it is displayed.  As soon as I finish this note to you, I will begin moving some of the stand-alone pages you have created and correcting the links to them.  Thanks for your work here - we very much value it! If you have questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. --Jomegat (talk) 23:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * The new pages seem to be created from new redlinks created in the print version of an existing page. Is is necessary or desirable to do this when equivalent pages already exist in the main book? e.g. see the links at the bottom of this page General_Chemistry/Periodic_Table.
