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.AdminGuide.Access Rights.Sub-Wiki access rights.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##
