I created some pages using hierarchy syntax (/), and did re-index. After that, some of my new pages got lost.
I managed to recreate this error. It happens for empty pages (without content). So, if I create an empty page, it will be lost if no content has been added to it prior to re-indexing.
Empty pages are not created or saved. This has been by design. Are you sure that something is actually lost?
I updated my second answer. Empty pages that are referenced, are not deleted, only empty and unreferenced.
No data is lost, just pages. Sometimes I create hierarchy of pages, which is data to me, so losing that is an issue, but not a major one. I will have in mind this design when creating such pages in the future. Thanks
If a page serves more than being a candidate term, it is advisable to add some content to it, like (and optionally):
- strict definition
- free-text description
- reason of / justification for existence
- usage expectations/assumptions
Some benefits:
- Such content becomes available in other pages through hovering on a reference of that page.
- That can be considerably helpful as the graph keeps growing.
- Can prevent the creation of redundant terms or at least easily detect them.
- Such terms should normally be merged or at least linked to each-other.
- That can prevent some info from being hidden in the shadow of similar info.
- Such terms should normally be merged or at least linked to each-other.
