[Phpwiki-talk] Subpages

[Joachim L. <joa...@nr...>]

Hi, I'm new here but I've been using phpwiki for a bit; thanks for an
excellent wiki engine.

I'm really delighted to see subpages in the CVS version, they're sort
of a requirement for a new installation I'm planning.
But I must admit the way they work is not optimal for my intended use,
so I'd like to make a case for a different system:

The reason I want subpages is so several projects can have their own
sections of the wiki without interfereing with each others'
namespaces, but at the same time being able to link across projects
and to top-level pages, and introduce new projects without any
installation.

In other words: when you're in a sub-section you shouldn't have to
think about it; you should remain inside that section until you ask
for something else. In particular:
- simple wikiwords on a subpage should implicitly refer to a
neighbouring page under the same parent.
Right now there seems to be no way at all to refer to neighbouring
pages except using the "full name". You would of course need a way to
refer up to the top again.

Is there any work going on in this direction, or is it worth trying
to hack something myself?
