			==== Organizing practice group articles ====
			One major way to organize practice group articles is to use the “subpages” feature. Subpages allow a set of articles to be grouped under one parent article title, which functions somewhat similarly to files within a folder. This can be useful to group articles with similar relevance (e.g. subspecialty materials, site-specific resources).
			* Subpages are automatically created when an article title contains a forward slash (“/“), with the parent article title to the left is the slash and the subpage title to the right.
			** E.g. Creating a practice group article with the title “Resident rotations/Cardiac” would create a parent article “Resident rotations” which contained a subpage called “Cardiac”.
			* Subpages can be nested indefinitely to have multiple levels of organization.
			** E.g. “Resident rotations/Cardiac/Operating room setup”

	=== ~~Article titles~~ ===		While practice groups can be configured to make articles private in most circumstances, there are several important caveats outlined below. Furthermore, the underlying platform that powers WikiAnesthesia ([https://mediawiki.org/ MediaWiki]) is fundamentally not designed as a secure cloud storage service, and thus <u>highly sensitive content should '''never''' be stored in any part of WikiAnesthesia</u>.

	* The contents of articles are '''not''' accessible to non-members of the group.		*The contents of articles are '''not''' accessible to non-members of the group.

	Practice groups can create their own wiki articles. Depending on the privacy settings of the group, these can be made completely private so that only members of the practice group may view or edit them. Practice group articles ~~fall into one~~ of ~~three major categories:~~		Practice groups can create their own wiki articles. Depending on the privacy settings of the group, these can be made completely private so that only members of the practice group may view or edit them. Practice group articles are organized within a single collection and are also searchable using the main search of the site.
	* '''Linked articles:''' This allows a practice group to store detailed institution-specific information about a topic that is broadly covered by a public article~~. Users~~ of a practice group can seamlessly switch between the public and practice group articles on a topic using the ~~page menu on~~ either ~~article~~.
	** For example: The public article for [[~~Liver transplant\|~~liver transplant]] will contain information generally relevant to all practitioners~~, while a~~ liver transplant practice group article might include very detailed information about exactly how to perform the case at their institution		If an article stores detailed institution-specific information about a topic that is broadly covered by a public article with the same title, users of a practice group can seamlessly switch between the public and practice group articles on a topic using tabs above the content of either the public or practice group articles. For example:
	*** Different preferences or operative practices ~~between surgeons~~, how to organize the room, exactly what drugs to have available, how to organize lines, infusions, etc.		* The public article for [[liver transplant]] will contain information generally relevant to all practitioners
	** Linked articles ~~will~~ also ~~always follow their parent public article (so if the public article is renamed, the linkage will be preserved).~~		*A liver transplant practice group article might include very detailed information about exactly how to perform the case at their institution, such as surgeon preferences or operative practices, how to organize the room, exactly what drugs to have available, how to organize lines, infusions, etc.
	* '''Independent articles:'''. These articles allow institutions to store information about topics ''not'' generally covered by a public article on the site.		Practice group articles may also store information about topics ''not'' generally covered by a public article on the site. Some examples include: resident rotation orientations, ERAS protocols, institution policies, etc.
	** Some examples: ~~Resident~~ rotation orientations, ERAS protocols, ~~surgeon preferences for regional anesthesia~~, etc.
