Hi, one of the features of deki is to be structured in parent and child nodes.
This can be useful but also annoying cause I've to remember where I placed a certain topic when I want to link it in another page.
My questions on this issue are two:
1) If I choose to place every page on the same level, how can I remove the sidebar tree to avoid long page listings?
2) There's a way to quickly insert a link on a page that point to a topic not on the same level without search my topic on the wiki structure?

I'm not sure of the answer to this question. RoyK would be the best person to ask as he's the UI genious!

Instead of using the Insert Link UI, you can always use wikitext links like:


[[Project_A/Media_Gallery]]

Yes, search for $wgArticle->showTreeNavigation() in skins/Ace.php and comment it out.

I've removed the 'Add sub-page' button. Users will have to learn that they can link to pages that don't exist yet. Any links will by default make a subpage under the current page, so in most cases you get a good hierarchy anyway. Also, more experienced users can still make a subpage using the pop up menu on the side.
I've found that this is much better, as it means users don't have to maintain two navigation structures.
