How to Create Folders in a SharePoint Wiki Library?

As I mentioned in my last post that Wiki libraries are completely different and special ways are mentioned to achieve some functionality. So requirements will be many, library configurations will be different, library parameters will change but we need to move in that direction to achieve that functionality. It might be possible that it is resolve by using out of box functionality or by using SharePoint object model i.e. complete customization's. Don’t worry guys-we will concentrate only on out of box functionality to achieve these requirements.


Let’s go ahead and resolve this request:
Wiki libraries are configured in such a way in which you will not find an option to create a new folder.


Solution is very simple-
1.By default the view that you can see in the wiki page library is “All Pages”
2.Change the view from ‘All pages’ to ‘Explorer view’
3.When you will change the view then you will see an alone folder named as ‘Forms’. This is part of explorer view so please don’t delete it and keep it as it is.
4.Now this is windows network view and you can use all windows operations here so please go ahead-Right Click and you will get the option of ‘NEW FOLDER’
5.Assign appropriate name to a folder as per your project requirements
6.Now change the view from ‘Explorer view’ to ‘All pages’
7.That’s it-folder will be successfully created inside a wiki page library.


Easy! Simple! Neat & Clean-Mission accomplished and request completed.
