Another method to refer to a child page could be to use a something like
[[Child:FAQs]] where "Child:" means its a child page. Maybe this is
clearer than writing [[./FAQs]]. And the author can think of it as an 
dynamic interMap-link.

We could similarly use a markup like [[Parent:]] to refer to the parent 
page. And perhaps [[${Parent} -> Parent:]] could be used to automatically 
create a link to the parnt, that also shows the name of the parent page.
