When you create a new page please use the subwiki syntax `UserDocs/ANewWikiPage` so it will be properly nested in the TitleIndex and easy to seperate from the developer and trac system pages. If you don't like `UserDocs` being prefixed in front, use the bracket syntax of `[UserDocs/EasyToReadName Easy to read name]`, which will be displayed as ''Easy to read name''
