From the wiki web part or wiki page view of the page, select Manage.
The page Name is generally a single short nickname for the page. It must be unique in the container. The Title can be longer and more descriptive, and will be displayed at the top of the page. Note that the page name and title are good places to put any search terms you want to find this page.
Once a page name is set, you cannot edit it from the editor and must use Manage. Click Rename to change the page name.
In order to avoid breaking existing links to the original name, you have the option to add a new page alias for the old name.
When page names change, such as when projects evolve, it can be useful to rename pages but convenient to maintain existing links by using Aliases. When you rename a page you can check the box to add an alias, as shown above, or you can leave the page name as it is and add as many page aliases as you require. Note that if you add an alias that is already the name of another page, the named page will prevail.
Once aliases are set, accessing the page via one of those aliases will redirect to the actual page name. Try it by accessing this URL, which is an alias for the page you're reading now. Notice the URL includes the page name, but "manageWikiAliases" will be replaced with the actual name, "manageWiki"
By selecting a Parent page, you can arrange wiki pages into a hierarchy grouping common topics and making it easier for users to browse the table of contents for the wiki as a whole. For example, the parent page of this topic is Wiki Admin Guide. You can see the parent page in the 'breadcrumb' trail at the top of the wiki page view.
For a more elaborate example, browse the LabKey documentation table of contents on the right of the page you are reading now.
