This page includes the following:
What is a child page?
A child page is a page that is subordinate to another. When you are viewing any page, you can see if it has one or more child pages.
- In most wikis on the NCI Wiki scroll to the end of the page. If there is a count of the child pages and a list of links, the page has child pages.
- If necessary select the link for the count of child pages to Show the child pages.
- To create a child page, select the Create button above the document window. Create child pages for content that is related to the content of the higher level page, but more specific.
What is a wiki space?
A Confluence wiki space is a group of pages that are administered together. For readers and page authors and editors, a space serves to organize pages on closely related topics in one place.
To navigate to and browse a wiki space:
- Select the link for a space in the list on the Dashboard.
A space opens at its wiki home page. Like every Confluence page, this wiki home page can have child pages.
- Scroll to the end of the page to see the links to the child pages.
What is a page family?
Typically the child pages of a wiki home page are home pages for major topics in the space. The Wiki FAQs, Tips, and Guidelines page is an example of a wiki home page with child pages.
Each child page can serve as a topic home page, the top level page of a page family. A space can contain many page families.
Each topic home page can have any number of child pages. Each child page in turn can also have child pages. This forms a hierarchical grouping of pages (page family) on one topic.
To see the page hierarchy
- Select the Pages option on the Browse menu above the document window.
- Then select the Tree link to see the page hierarchy.
