Hi,
We have several places where we need to display a document reference; for ex:
- rename page
- copy page
etc
One solution is to not display the reference and break it into discrete parts, for ex:
Source wiki:
<wiki name>
Source space:
<space name>
Source page:
<page name>
However there are drawbacks:
1) it takes space
2) when we introduced nested spaces it's going to be even more complex to do so...
+1 for the separation. We can make a nice UI for displaying nested
spaces (I even have some ideas).
I was wondering if instead we couldn't go
another way which is to have a visual way to display a reference.
Two ideas:

-1 for the second idea. Hover-triggered UI tend not to work on mobile
devices.
There are 2 proposals in the second idea. The first proposal has no hover.
The question was more about separating completely the reference into discrete parts vs
keeping the reference together and compact but with a visual way to easily identify each
part in order to make it less technical and easier to use for end users.
Thanks
