How do I create a subcategory within a device page?

I have a Wiki page for the Acer Iconia W510 laptop/tablet. I want to have a section on the page for the dock part of the laptop where I can put separate guides and techniques.

Acer Iconia W510 Repair - iFixit

Essentially I want to do exactly the same thing as has been done for the Nintendo Switch with the Joy-Con subcategory.

Nintendo Switch Repair - iFixit

However, even though everything I can modify on the page appears to be done exactly the same is it is for the Switch, I am unable to figure out how to put the battery replacement guide under the Dock section.

Acer Icona W510 Dock Battery Replacement - iFixit Repair Guide

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Update (12/12/23)

Actually, I now have two more guides that need to go into the Dock subcategory.

Acer Icona W510 Dock Bottom Cover Replacement - iFixit Repair Guide

Acer Icona W510 Unplug the Dock Battery Prerequisite - iFixit Repair Guide

Hey, Jerry, you got close to setting up the Acer Iconia W510 device page how you wanted it. According to the wiki documentation, the device name in the guidelist syntax should be the full device name Acer Iconia W510 Dock. It looks like you included the underscores the first time Acer_Iconia_510_Dock which is why it didn't work.

I don't think the guidelist with a device search will include prerequisite guides, so only the battery and bottom cover guides show up. Let me know if there is anything else we can help you out with!

Thanks, @evanga2so, that's exactly how I was hoping to get it set up, I just didn't get that last little bit about the underscores. The example I was working from, the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con guide, kind of threw me for a while because the subguide device name was simply "Joy-Con" with nothing else like "Nintendo" or "Switch" included as part of the device name so I deviated from that since a device named only "Dock" wouldn't be very informative.

While I've got your attention, Evan, is it possible for you to edit the filename of the device page? It appears I made a typo when I created it and left out the second "i". I managed to edit everywhere else that typo came up as a result, but it would require filesystem access to touch that filename and be able to account for anything that depends on that name. Here's the current name:

https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Acer_Icona...

and here's how it should be spelled:

https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Acer_Iconi...

As far as I can tell, the only way I could fix this myself is to delete the original page and recreate the whole thing with the correct filename, so I'm saving that as a last resort.

@dadibrokeit I brought everything over except the guides to the new page just in case you have to use it. Should save you a few steps.

I cannot fix the link. I tried to fix it by altering the display name but the link issue is still present. @evanga2so will need to see if they have anything on the admin side.

I'm a little late so I see that the below page exists so I cannot change the incorrect URL: https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Acer_Iconi...

I would recommend just setting up a redirect once the guides, 1 answer, and content is moved over to the correct URL.

@evanga2so I'll leave that part to @dadibrokeit. He can use the page I mirrored his info to.
