Thanks for the information Vincent. It's cleared up some confusion. I thought I was on the latest XWiki but looks like I'm on 5.1. I'll work on upgrading to 5.2. In 5.2 are wikis stored in the same schema like workspaces or does XWiki create a different schema for each? It sounds like it'll still use the same architecture as workspaces but just renamed to wiki.
