Creating Index Pages
The front page of a wiki space should act as “table of contents,” and more. The ultimate goal is to have complete visibility of every page in a space, with descriptions.
This page acts as an example. Pretend the below describes the pages in a real confluence space.
Example Fake Links
These aren’t real pages at all, just a visual example.
[fake link] page alpha --- documents the new process for Foo --- UNDER CONSTRUCTION
[fake link] page beta --- big page describing the current process for Foo
[fake link] page b2 --- for Foo Bars --- this page is kinda old
[fake link] page b1 --- for Foo Bazzes --- has an excellent writeup for the blanket legacy process
[fake link] page b3 --- for Foo Quxxes, and the definitive list of project dependencies
[fake link] page gamma --- show how to so something else --- DEPRECATED
[fake link] page omega --- describes something about MFEs (micro frontends)
Standard Sample Pages
These are real pages that confluence created by default for this space.
Sample Pages --- one of those pages confluence makes to show off features
Meeting notes --- another of those, as an example
Decision --- more stuff
Product requirements --- blah blah blah
Staging Area for readthedocs

I feel like this write-up is focusing too much on link lists. A homepage with nothing but links is not overly useful to me. What is the purpose of the space, who owns it, what does it apply to, what are the most valuable pieces of content for internal and for external parties? Use-case based content can be as valuable as a generated TOC.
