Best practices for using a Confluence wiki

Naming pages

  • If users will be often reading the page name in the child page / sidebar list, it may be a good idea to name the page with the specific designation first and the general designation second (e.g. if the parent page is named "Mobile", then the child page should be named "Development Frameworks (Mobile)" rather than "Mobile Development Frameworks").

How to clean up a Confluence wiki

  • It's good to periodically combine pages on your wiki so that new visitors don't click around and see a bunch of empty pages.
  • Pages which have sentences as titles are often worth getting rid of.
    • The long names make them difficult to search for, and so specific that it's likely users wouldn't mind having it combined with the likely-also-existing sibling pages with similarly-long names.
  • Having individual pages is helpful if you want to use the search bar to find that particular page.
  • Having individual pages is helpful if you want auto-updated links to that section on other pages.
  • When copying content from a page you intend to delete, you only need to click the 'Edit' button first if you're trying to copy hidden things (like 'expand' content)
