> In a wiki, at least I can follow the structure to find relevant pages Wow! You have much more disciplined coworkers than most of us, then. I've been at my current employer for about 13 years now. We've gone through 3 or 4 different wikis. Right now we're split between Confluence (worst wiki software I've ever used) and an in-house solution. I can't find a god damned thing on either one. They're both awful, and so were the predecessors. Maintaining any kind of documentation takes work and our employer just doesn't give us enough time to do that and our jobs. |

Specifically regarding structure:
- every page has breadcrumbs letting you navigate up to its parents
- "child view" macro shows all children of this page automatically, so you can easily make a "category" page linking similar issues that is always up to date
- can move pages to new parents/spaces with a few clicks, or en masse with a drag-and-drop tree view
- built-in widget that searches only children of the page you embed it into
- spaces so you can tell a page in the search is owned by a different section of the team
Plus just a way lower barrier to entry than Wikipedia or the other wikis I've contributed to. I love Confluence.
