Driving in California
To put pages in a book, you should follow the "Book Name/Section Name" pattern. Add a "/" to the book's title, then the name of the sub-page you are creating. Also be sure that you keep the same main book name for them (How to drive in California, USA, not How to drive in Southern California, U. S. A.). So How to drive in Southern California, U. S. A. - Page two should have been located at How to drive in California, USA/Page two. I've fixed this one for you. Hope this helps.

 * I was just going to remind you too :) WB:NP describes this in full. Also, you should name the subpages something more descriptive than "Page 2" etc. Take a look through some books that do this well for examples. If you need help, just ask. – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 18:47, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Now what I don't understand is there is presently over 500 pages needing to be categorized in Wiki Books. Why the hell couldn't I have finished writing the damn book before it gets totally rearranged? Hell, I don't know what is what right now and don't presently have the time to try to figure it out. Have you guys ever written anything close to a book before? Some how I don't think so. Again, thanks ever so much and crickey I am an American.

Damit. Way beyond miffed right now!--Beamer (talk) 12:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Whether we've written textbooks is irrelevant, though I have, and it is a featured book. As this is a wiki, you should expect that others will edit your work. No content was lost in the shuffle, and the result is that the book now complies with Wikibooks policy. The problem that I fixed was not categorization, but rather the naming convention, and not using subpages. As well, there was significant overlap between two pages, so I merged them. The book is better for my having done so. I think if you stick around, you'll find that the conventions we use here work well (otherwise we wouldn't use them). If you need help with anything, just ask. Happy editing! – Mike.lifeguard  &#124; talk 04:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
