When organizing your wiki space, keep in mind the following points:
- Keep related content together in page families. In each page family, put more general information in the parent page and more specific information in the child pages.
- Consider organizing your content by audience. For example, consider the DME User Guide, which describes how to use a web application called DME:
- Most of the content is for non-admin DME users. There is no need to identify the audience for this content.
- This space also has two page families for DME administrators. One is view-restricted for internal system administrators and the other is unrestricted for both external and internal group administrators.
- Yet another page family is visible only to administrators of this wiki space. This "Content Visible to Administrators" page family includes pages such as:
- LDAP Group Members in This Space (This is an ideal place to use the User List macro. For information, refer to Seeing Who is in an LDAP Group.)
- Drafts (This is an ideal place to use the Checklist macro, so you can jot down notes about each draft. For information, refer to Checklist Macro Demonstration.)
- Archive
- Space Attachments (This is an ideal place to use the Space Attachments macro. For information, refer to Displaying a List of Attachments on a Page.)
- Pages to Be Deleted (For more information, refer to Removing a Page, Comment, Blog Post, or Attachment.)
- Consider creating a page family just for Include pages. If you want the included content to be visible to all wiki users, then keep this page family also visible to all wiki users. The space root is a good place to create this page, because the page will not interfere with navigation in the space. For information, refer to Including the Content of a Page on Another Page.
- Consider using a Page Tree macro to provide a site map of the wiki space.
- For example, refer to Site Map of This Wiki Space.
- For a comparison of Page Tree macros, refer to Putting a List of Child Pages on a Page.
- Consider whether a Recently Updated page, with the Recently Updated macro, would be useful only to space administrators, or to all visitors. For information, refer to Attracting Attention to Recent Updates.
