The parent section of a regular page is the [current section].
[current section]: /methods/page/currentsection
{{% /note %}}
Consider this content structure:
```text
content/
├── auctions/
│ ├── 2023-11/
│ │ ├── _index.md <-- parent: auctions
│ │ ├── auction-1.md
│ │ └── auction-2.md <-- parent: 2023-11
│ ├── 2023-12/
│ │ ├── _index.md
│ │ ├── auction-3.md
│ │ └── auction-4.md
│ ├── _index.md <-- parent: home
│ ├── bidding.md
│ └── payment.md <-- parent: auctions
├── books/
│ ├── _index.md <-- parent: home
│ ├── book-1.md
│ └── book-2.md <-- parent: books
├── films/
│ ├── _index.md <-- parent: home
│ ├── film-1.md
│ └── film-2.md <-- parent: films
└── _index.md <-- parent: nil
```
In the example above, note the parent section of the home page is nil. Code defensively by verifying existence of the parent section before calling methods on its `Page` object. To create a link to the parent section page of the current page:
```go-html-template
{{ with .Parent }}
<a href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .LinkTitle }}</a>
{{ end }}
```
