I think parent-creating-child would be most common, but Ralph
was interested in page-creates-sibling, too, to handle extension

you try to keep each page short, you'll be more inclined
to create siblings.
Of course, as long as its easy to move pages around the hierarchy,
it's not that important where you put the page initially.

see any need for two concepts. Why not ask the user
whether a new folder should be a sibling or a child, in the
same way the old version let's the user decide whether a new
name should represent a Folder, Glossary, Page or Resource?
Instead, ask "Child Folder, Sibling Folder, Glossary or Resource"?
yes, that would be more clear for a user. Maybe it's better to just ask:
"Page, Glossary, Resource". Because the term "page" is more clear
than
"folder" in this context, and a sibling page to the current page would be
created in the parent of the current page, not in it, I think.
