I got it from you on this list IIRC ;-) I understand the technical similarity of concepts. Yet, from a UI perspective I would prefer to have the topmost hierachy level called "spaces" or "projects" or "what-have-you" and a separate "spaces" menue to create, select, delete these. Obviously the navigation panel on the left should show only the page tree contained in that "space" as long as I'm "in that space". > I don’t understand what you mean by "multiple group memberships/board of > directors” and why it’s an issue with multi-wiki. I read that Wiki vs Nested Pages docs - multiple times ;-) It's the "Ability to easily query data across instances" that multi-wikis are missing. I'm repeating myself, sorry - coming from Confluence we have just one big wiki but with multiple project related containers Confluence calls "spaces". But you can still search across all of them you have access to, link from one to another, include content snippets from one space in a page in another space and more. I just want to emulate that as closely as possible because that's how we are used to work. Using the topmost level of the nested pages hierarchy for spaces e.g. creates an odd looking navigation panel with just one entry at the top level for users that are only in one project/group. It would be more convenient to select the space/project as a separate operation and have all the second level pages at the top of the navigation panel. Thanks for your help - as Stefan pointed out my main mistake probably was to restrict access to "Main plus children". I can live with the different UI, if there is really no way to get that "spaces" menue back that you had in 7.x (?). Side note: another "concept" thing that I think Confluence gets right and a lot of others don't - not quite sure about Xwiki, yet - in Confluence every page has a parent. Except for the space home that is the top of the hierarchy, of course. In Mediawiki et. al. you can just create a page named "bazong" in the middle of nowhere and nobody will ever see it unless they use the search or the list of all pages. I personally consider it mandatory that *all* content has a *defined place* in a hierarchy of pages that is accessable through a menue that folds out and in. But others may think different. Kind regards Patrick
