Re: [xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Should we stop setting the parents when creating new pages + mandating parents in the build

What I mean is that if you go some time with core.hierarchyMode=reference and at some point you change it to core.hierarchyMode=parent (or whatever the value is called), you will end up with tons of orphan documents. Question 2: do we still want to enforce having a parent set in our build? My preference would be to not enforce it anymore, however, for the same reasons as above, you might have to... otherwise the core.hierarchyMode=parent option will be misleading and might not behave as expected. > My preference would to not change any in the 7.x cycle (i.e. keep setting > the parent when creating new pages and keep enforcing parents in the > build).
