+  Scenario Outline: Adding a task as a child of another task in a page
+    Given I display the "<page>" page
+    And I look at the central list
+    And I list the items
+    When I add a child named "<title>" under the task named "<parent>"
+    And I list the items
+    Then the list contains "<parent> / <title>"
+
+  Examples:
+    | page               | parent                | title                         |
