We are running multiple flavors of Xwiki including 7.4.4 (production),
8.4.4 and 9.0
1. what sections are always needed and maybe we could prioritize them;
Users and Groups are the most heavily used menu in administration for us
We also rely heavily on Import/Exports
2. what sections could be grouped together, since they are related;
3. what sections are not relevant and could be removed (maybe because they
are too technical, or not needed or rarely used);
Creating subwikis is sometime used so it shouldn't be dropped (for us)
Templates are not often used but really important to us
4. if there are important recurring things missing from administration;
There is no easy way to troubleshoot users rights on a page. In other
words, sometime users set rights on "pages and children" OR "pages",
and it
causes all sort of trouble
- some users can't see some pages but they should (due to misconfiugration
of the rights)
- some users can open pages with the direct link but can't navigate to it
a) I don't see why there is 2 types of rights on a page, I would personnaly
keep only "pages and children" rights and drop "page only" rights
b) To troubleshoot, I'd like to have a way to see why some users can see
the page and some don't, or to help me find where the problem is
5. other ideas?
I find the Template creation (with provider) procedure counter intuitive.
Maybe it could be simplified ?

-> wikis (we are using only 1 instance, so no need of multi configs for
us)
