Would this be viewed as an improvement?
Home
|-- Subwikis
|---- Sub Wiki 1
|---- Sub Wiki 2
|---- ...
|---- Sub Wiki N
|-- Document 1
|-- Document 2
|-- ...
|-- Document N
...same logic we apply for objects, and attachments in a document.
Of course, when displaying the tree only for Sub Wiki X (isolated), there
would be no "Subwikis" entry as first child. That would be the difference
when displaying a subwiki or when displaying the main wiki.
I`m not 100% on this, just mentioning a possibility.
Thanks,
Eduard

Breadcrumb on a subwiki (that has only global users):
Home Icon (pointing to the main wiki home page) / Subwiki Pretty Name
(pointing to the subwiki home page) / SDoc1 / SDoc2 / ... / SDocX
After seeing the breadcrumbs both on the main wiki and on a subwiki
the user might think that the document MDoc1 and the wiki "Subwiki
Pretty Name" are on the same level: both children of the main wiki.
Next if the user tries the document tree macro using:
{{documentTree showWikis="true" /}}
he will notice that "Subwiki Pretty Name" is not actually a child of
the main wiki but a top level node (a child of the "farm"), on the
same level with the main wiki.
Can this be considered as an inconsistency? In our model (e.g.
document reference) there is no hierarchy between wikis, although, as
Edy pointed out, there are places where we consider the main wiki to
be the "parent" of the subwikis (e.g. in the authorization module, by
inheriting access rights from the main wiki).
WDYT? Is the main wiki the parent of the subwikis or just a sibling?
Good question and indeed we need to decide what we want to do since we
Personally I think it’s interesting to mark the main wiki as special
since it is
special (accounts there are different than on subwikis) so I’d
be in favor of considering subwikis as children of the main wiki.
Should the breadcrumb be synchronized with the
tree?
I’d say the other way around. The tree should
probably show the main
wiki as the parent of all subwikis. And when there’s only
one wiki (ie the
main wiki), we could simply not show the wiki level for simplicity. We
could also decide to open the tree to the level below the main wiki by
default so that users don’t have to open it themselves.
I find it strange to display:
Home
|-- Sub Wiki 1
|-- Sub Wiki 2
|-- ...
|-- Sub Wiki N
|-- Document 1
|-- Document 2
|-- ...
|-- Document N
Not to mention the pagination. If there are too many subwikis then you
may not see the documents initially. I much prefer the current
display.
I would find it painful to have to open the tree for nodes that you need
to open anyway.
Another idea: when you click on Document Index from a menu, the Tree opens
on the current doc.
