Wiki Pages or Wiki SIte
Hello:
I am new to the WIKI thing and was trying to get more info but it is proving quite difficult.
I created a bunch of Wiki Pages, but then creating access to them is not great (or with my limited knowledge i am not doing right) I added a Document library we part to the Home page, but: to get to the Wiki pages i have to give access to the "Site pages" document library, not great. If i create a View, then that view is not only for the Home page it changes the view on the main library too.
Also, when creating a template, can the metadata be added at this point? because that is the other thing, when saving a page, if we have Choice options it is not great.
And then i saw this "Enterprise Wiki" as an option when creating a new Site, but cannot find any literature on that.
Any help will be sooooo much appreciated! thank you all
Hello MVCuser
in SharePoint you don't have explicit "Wiki-Pages", you create pages in the Site Pages Library for a wiki, but you have a lot features in modern to create wiki pages with modern page experience, metadate or functions like [[ to link wiki pages. More informations:
The enterprise wiki site is an "classic" site template, not modern, so i don't recommend it in SharePoint online, but here are more informations about it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-and-edit-a-wiki-dc64f9c2-d1a2-44b5-ac59-b9d535551a32

MVCuser and the classic wiki features haven't been updated or improved for many years and it was never a good platform anyway compared to the mainstream wiki platforms like Wikimedia and Wikidot.
