How to modify Confluence to allow duplicate page titles
confluence
Solution
Atlasian has stated that they won't change this behavior. There are plugins like Scroll Versions to work around that, but you might want to rethink your wiki structure there.
Does Wikipedia allow multiple pages with the same name? It doesn't. If you get rid of the thought of a hierarchical ordering for your wiki and instead start using the search function and tags, it all makes sense.
We had the same discussion when setting up documentation for our projects. What if you have >150 pages named "Documentation"? Try searching in that if you don't know the exact product name.
Problem
I'm using Confluence for documentation, both end user documentation and internal development documentation. The problem with Confluence is that it doesn't allow duplicate page titles, since the URL consists of only the title and not the whole tree structure. Is there any way to alter this behaviour? There is a plugin which does this, and much more. The "much more" part is the problem, because that plug-in is quite expensive, especially if only one of many features will be used (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.k15t.scroll.scroll-versions).
