1 In XWiki, content is organized inside Pages. Pages can be created in a nested manner. For example, if you are [[viewing a Page>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.view-page.WebHome]], you can use the "Create" button to [[create a Page>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.create-page.WebHome]] that will automatically be placed as a [[child>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.relations.WebHome]] of the current Page. This allows you to build hierarchies of Pages (visible in [[the breadcrumb>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.view-page.breadcrumb.WebHome]]), and [[relations between Pages>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.nested-pages.relations.WebHome]]. You can create as many levels of nested Pages as you want.

3 Nested Pages are useful, for example, when content is closely related and belongs to the same area of your Wiki, making the [[navigation>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.page.all-ways-navigate-page.WebHome]] easier.

5 However, when you want to provide custom Applications/Extensions to a group of users of your Wiki, a separate [[Wiki>>xwiki:documentation.xs.user.base.wikis.WebHome]] is appropriate.
