[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Display the children/sibling menu entry even for pages that don't exist?
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 -Vincent
I prefer B. We already display the 'other' menu, having the 'Annotate' entry. We could add also the Children. Thanks, Caty On Mon, Mar 14, 2016 at 6:48 PM, Vincent Massol <[email protected]> wrote:

even if the 'Annotate' looks like a bug :) Thanks, Caty On Mon, Mar 14, 2016 at 7:23 PM, Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) < [email protected]> wrote:

+1 for B. It`s actually about references (locations) which may or may not hold a page but which also may or may not have children (i.e. sub-locations). Thanks, Eduard On Tue, Mar 15, 2016 at 7:14 AM, Marius Dumitru Florea < [email protected]> wrote:
