Hi!
Confluence doesn’t support multi wiki… so you can’t compare at all.
Actually even worse, confluence doesn’t support nested spaces, see
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-1095
If you’re talking about search only, then whether you’re in a single wiki or multi wiki
you can have the search look everywhere. Try it on xwiki.org and you’ll see you’ll get
results for sub wikis too.

Ok then I don’t understand how you could have inferred that we lost the ability to have
nested content.
Could you explain what we need to improve in this doc that would have helped you not be
confused?
I didn't. I just got the impression that once you had a separate "spaces"
menue including
a "create space" option and now it's gone. It's more of a user
interface question. I'm
missing that separate namespace.
It's the "Ability to easily query data
across instances" that multi-wikis are missing.
Depends. You can use the SOLR search for that to a large extent. I don’t see what this
has to do with "multiple group memberships/board of directors” , could you explain?
In Confluence a search query searches all spaces I have access to.
Not so woth Subwikis unless you implement Solr. - Correct? So once more you just create your page hierarchy using
the “+” button.
Great. And if a parent page is mandatory, that's even better.
Ok that was a leftover page. This page was no longer referenced from the navigation. I’ve
now removed it to avoid confusion.
Thanks

You have 2 options:
- option 1: modify the navigation panel to set the root to be the current page
- option 2: create another nav panel to keep the global one at the root and set that
other nav Panel in subpage roots for your various projects/groups.
I'll probably start with getting the access rights for the top level
correct try to learn about modifying panels in the next couple of days.
Nothing has been lost. In 7.4.x the home page had
a dashboard gadget called “Pages” listing all pages of the wiki in a tree. Exactly the
same as we have now in the Navigation Panel on the left (we just moved it there so that
it’s available by default from all pages for easier navigation).
I'm not claiming anything about nested pages was lost.
I started with Xwiki with version 8.something and Google referred
me to this document when I was searching for wikis that had spaces:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/Spaces It really is that simple: I (it's just me, Xwiki
is fine, really) want the first level
of the page hierarchy to be called something different than "page" and
a separate way of creating these entities only available to administrators
and the navigation panel to only show pages below the currently active
"space". Just like Confluence does. If that is not possible with Xwiki
I'll
have to find a different way of organising things if I want to replace
Confluence with free software. And all in all Xwiki really looks like the
strongest contender here.
Only remark: I really wonder why that "Spaces" documentation I linked
above is still there. I was searching for hours for that "Add -> Space"
menu.
And I would still prefer to have it ;-)
Thanks again
