|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | There are two ways of organizing your content in XWiki: | ||
| 2 | |||
| 3 | * Using [[Nested Pages>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.WebHome]]. | ||
| 4 | * Using [[Wikis>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.wikis.WebHome]]. Inside each Wiki, you can organize your content using Nested Pages. | ||
| 5 | |||
| 6 | Here are the key differences between the two: | ||
| 7 | |||
| 8 | |=Aspect|=Nested Pages|=Wikis | ||
| 9 | |Hierarchy|Pages are organized in a tree-like structure within the same Wiki.|Each Wiki is a separate Wiki with its own users, permissions, custom Applications/Extensions. | ||
| 10 | |Permissions|[[Children>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.relations.WebHome]] Pages can inherit the permission from the parent Page.|Have separate [[access rights>>xwiki:documentation.xs.admin.rights.rights-resolution.WebHome]]. | ||
| 11 | |Scope|Content is grouped under a single Wiki, useful for related topics|Ideal for larger, independent areas, e.g., different projects | ||
| 12 | |Navigation|[[Breadcrumbs>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.view.breadcrumb.WebHome]] and [[tree macros>>extensions:Extension.Document Tree Macro]] make it easy to navigate.|Each Wiki has its own top-level navigation. | ||
| 13 | |URL structure|##/Main/Page1/SubPage##|##/wiki/Main/Page1## | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | [[Wikis vs Nested Pages>>xwiki:documentation.xs.admin.base.content-organization.wikis-nested-pages.WebHome]] carries that comparison feature by feature, from [[Panels>>documentation.xs.user.panels.WebHome]] and Skins to Extensions, rights delegation and database maintenance. Read it before committing a wiki to one of the two. | ||
| 16 | |||
| 17 | Whichever you choose, [[Administer Your Wiki>>xwiki:documentation.xs.admin.base.content-organization.administer-wiki.WebHome]] is how you reach the global administration, where the settings of a whole Wiki live, its language among them. |
