Description Sage Ross 2012-08-15 21:57:57 UTC 
MediaWiki needs a behavior switch (such as __NOPARENTLINK__) to disable the automatic link from a subpage to its parent page.

Use cases include WikiProjects that use tab templates, where the first tab is the parent page and the others are subpages. The parent page links on all but the first tab cause the whole navigation framework to shift as users navigate from the main page to the subpages and back.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history

Other use cases include pages intended for newcomers where it is desirable to limit unnecessary links as much as possible.
