Hi Team ,

Can you please let us know the procedure on how to create and delete topics in Wiki .

We followed the below steps to create a topic under one of the Parent Topics but it would not place it correctly .

Create New Topic > Topic Name : Test > Topic Parent : " " > Use template : Default template > Create this topic

Is there a specific pattern how we should define the topic interms of syntax ? If so, please let us know . We have tried for "Test" or "HowToTest".

We have noticed is it would create files like Test.txt and Test.txt,v. But the topic created is not placed under the "Topic Parent".

For now , we would perform a "Raw Edit" on a link and add additional line specifying in the format like " * HowToUpdateJiraLicense ".

Thanks Clive

Discussion and Answer

I am not sure I understand the issue. All topics in a web reside in the same logical container (the web). Topics may have a parent defined. A parent simply points to another topic. The parent can be set at the time of topic creation, and can be changed in the "more topic actions" screen.

Apologies if I did not explain the concern well.

Can you please let us know how to create and delete topics in Wiki. Is there any option to delete topics like how we can create new topics ( using "Create New Topic" hyperlink )

Follow the "More topic actions" link.
