Subpage
Encyclopedia
A subpage usually refers to a lower level web page
in a website

with the same main name as the starting level page plus a slash
and text identifying the location of the subpage. More precisely, it refers to a part of the path in the hierarchical part of the Uniform Resource Identifier
(also known as URI or URL).
