Hi devs,
In the past it was possible to see the space index even when on a page that didn’t exist.
We’ve lost this feature when we introduced the children/siblings menu entry at the page
edition level (in the ‘other’ menu on the right).
We have 2 choices:
A) Keep it like this
B) Display the ‘other' menu and children/silbing entry even when on a page that
doesn’t exist.
The rationale for B) is that XWiki allows creating pages inside pages that don’t exist, so
even if you’re on a non-existing pages, it’s still interesting to be able to see
children/siblings.
A use case I got today:
* I was on Admin.WebHome. There were 53 children doc.
* I renamed Admin.WebHome with children to another space
* The rename failed but Admin.WebHome was moved
* I wanted to quickly list the children of Admin.WebHome that were not moved.
Of course I could have navigated away and opened the drawer to go to AllDocs and then
filter on Admin but that’s extra work. I was looking for a children LT view and realized
it wasn’t displayed because I was on a non-existing page.
WDYT? What do you prefer between A) and B)?
Thanks
