This is an oddity actually.
http://www.kinhost.org/wiki/Main/ManualTOC -- table of contents of a
manual.
ALL pages (with a few exceptions) are in a single group (Main --
which is my bad from when I set it up ;) ). The TOC was hand-
written, but it does NOT give the impression that PmWiki has only 2
levels of pages.
You could create your own heirarchy:
Group1/pages...
Group1-1/pages
Group2/pages
It doesn't matter if you name it:
Dogs/AboutDogs
Dogs-Doberman/AboutDobermans
Dogs-Doberman-Mixes/AboutDobermanMixes
Cats/AboutCats
Cats-Persian/AboutPersians
Or if you have a completely arbitrary heirarchy like I do on my wiki
(linked above).
It is only really limited if you think in a limiting way. Some
people really do want 3 levels or more and aren't willing to play
with naming groups and pages to create a human-readable heirarchy.
I'm sure that more levels could open up a few interesting
possibilities at the expense of complicating the program. The
technical end is limited -- everything before / is a "Group" and
everything after / is the page name. I've seen some incredibly LONG
page names, so I'm not sure if there's a particular length limit to
the names.
New wildcard search capabilities and data storage abilities open up
more possibilities for organizing Group/PageName searches and data,
automated listings, etc. The system is very flexible.
