Hi! @matthewheath
Thanks so much for your answer.
I will check the custom sidebars, it looks like they are going to do the job.
In this page the image shows pages listed in embedded lists. Do you know how to make this?

Thanks so much again and best regards.
Dknacht.

Hello @dknacht,

Sure — they’re just HTML code using list elements.

The actual code would look something like

<ul>
  <li>Top level page
    <ul>
      <li>Sub-page</li>
      <li>Sub-page two</li>
    </ul>
</li>
</ul>

That would then give you a nested list like the image shows.

Great!,

That’s what I needed.

I am going to conact github support tho so see if they can implement something.

Thanks man!

Have a good day!.

Dknacht

Please implement this! 

I’m sendin a message to support as well.

Hi, where exactly do you add the HTML formating for the list? In the first page of the section which you want to create?

I’m trying to do this too and I cannot get it to work, I’ve googled it extensively and found a couple of links, specifically https://github.com/tajmone/github-tests/wiki/subpage, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11088285/github-wiki-directories and https://github.com/KirstieJane/STEMMRoleModels/wiki/Creating-new-folders-in-GitHub-repository-via-the-browser

When I try it, I don’t get anything like a subfolder, just a new file with the path as it’s name and the forward slashes replaced with space, like this

subfolder subpage.md

When I try creating the sub sidebar it just overwrites the original sidebar and the Create Custom Sidebar dissapears, which is not what I want.

I know this can be done because I’ve seen several github wikis which do this. But I don’t know exactly how. Please help, going slightly nuts here

Please implement this feature. GitLab Wiki does this and it’s really useful

please implement this.

i also contacted support for this

We need this feature desperately. Maintaining Wiki with more than a few pages is very impractical under current functionality. Thank you. 🙏🏻

Adding my support.

Having to replace a Confluence site with GitHub wiki as business won't pay for enough licences to make Confluence accessible by those that need it. Folders and grouping really are needed

PLEASE add this :)

Pretty please add this feature :)

I found the following project that works around this using custom sidebar (although not perfect)

https://github.com/adriantanasa/github-wiki-sidebar

You can see an example here:
https://github.com/angular/angular.js/wiki

Wiki has grown on our project, would love to have nested pages to organize.

Also voicing in that I started using Pages in one project, ran into this, and now it feels stunted. I'm actively avoiding using Pages for other projects solely for this reason.

I'm sure your product managers look at the existing adoption of a suite of features (Pages) as a measure to indicate how many users would benefit from a new feature (nesting pages/folders) - but I implore you think of the negative adoption induced by this missing feature, overall adoption of Pages would surely rise!

We need this feature!

It would be great to have this feature, otherwise using Wiki to write and manage documentation is a nightmare for everybody...

+1 how is this still an issue? ...

I dunno if my answer is appropriate but you can numbering your pages with 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.2.1 - blabla. it will create an unlimited hierarchy. BUT you won't be able to exceed the 0 to 9 main chapters with this numbering plan. Hope it helps.

And here we are again. ⏳

I tried an experiment of:

cd $MY_WIKI_REPO
mkdir test
echo '# Test wiki organizing' >test/Test.md
git add .
git commit -m 'Testing wiki organizing'
git push

I can find my "Test" page in the "Pages" droplist in the navbar, however there is no directory structure preserved, no mention of the "test" directory. This one simple thing would immediately open to me ways of structuring the large GitHub wiki I work on. Presently we fallback on edits to _Sidebar.md and a Home.md page with a handmade table of contents.

Looks like all the people who worked on this at GH were hit by the layoffs 😐
