Frequently Asked Question

Introduction

Basic pages are intended to be self-contained pieces of content.  They behave similar to article content, but differ in the fact that they have an explicit URL, and can be linked in menus.

Basic pages are intended for web-friendly content that doesn't change very much.  If the content you want to add doesn't fit this paradigm very well, please consider using a different content type, or submit a ticket if you would like advice.
