Generally, getting rid of preceding slashes is a great idea. But there are occasionally times when the preceding slash might need to be retained. A good example is [[Theory:Doctor Who television discontinuity and plot holes]] where the preceding slashes emphasize to the reader that a subpage was being linked to, rather than a page in the main article space with the same name. | Generally, getting rid of preceding slashes is a great idea.

Thus [[/The Chase]] versus [[The Chase]]. | A suggested guideline is that if the subpage has the same name as a proper article in mainspace, retain the slash for clarity.
