Starting with 7.2 the wiki pages are organized as nested pages, see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki72M2#HHid… , and the parent-child relationship has been hidden from the UI. if you wan to get the list of child pages based on the new 'reference' hierarchy mode (i.e. nested pages) then you need to use the QueryManager with the proper HQL/XWQL statement. For all descendants, see https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi… For only direct children, see https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwi… For the future, we'll have to implement a component to provide tree-oriented APIs regarding wiki pages. Hope this helps, Marius
