Content Organization

Version 3.1 by Vincent Massol on 2015/08/07

You organize content in your wiki by putting them inside pages (a.k.a Documents). Each page usually holds content on a given topic.

However there are several ways to organize your wiki pages:

  • You can have one or several subwikis. A (sub)wiki is a collection of pages.
  • Inside a wiki, you can create a hierarchy of pages, by creating pages inside other pages. This feature is called "Nested Documents". For example you could have a page "CEO" inside a page "Boarding" inside a page "Management" inside a page "Staff". When viewing the "CEO" page you would see a Breadcrumb with the following:

In order to view the full organization of your pages in the current wiki, we offer an Index Application, which has a Tree-view. For example with the example above, you would see:

Note that in XWiki versions < 7.2, we had the notion of Spaces which were collections of pages. A wiki was a collection of Spaces. However, starting in XWiki 7.2 we've introduced the concept of Nested Documents which made the concept of Space redundant. Note that at the development level (API level) we still have the concept of Space but we hide this at the UI level by implementing Nested Documents as Spaces.
