Ok, thanks for remembering this!

Only if you put your documents in the Main space… If you need short URLs it’s better to use a shorturl strategy as described at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ShortURLs (notice that xwiki.usedefaultweb is not even mentioned there). > I don't have a clear grasp of how nested spaces work, > so I'm not sure how this setting affects nested spaces. I’ll do some tests but I’m pretty sure that the combination of xwiki.showviewaction=1 + xwiki.usedefaultweb=1 + Nested Pages is not currently working.
