Hello @vcwiki,

Those are hidden pages. You probably see them because your user display hidden pages.
To hide those pages, go to the preferences of your user profile and edit Display hidden pages to No.
You can also press the sequence of characters xxxh in any page to toggle this configuration.

Hope that helps.

Yes, that helps. Thank you.

Is it also possible to hide or lock preferences in user profile? so that user cannot enable hidden pages?

Not easily afaik.You can always edit XWiki.XWikiUserPreferencesSheet but this is not advised without a good technical understanding of XWiki.

see https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/UserGuide/Features/PageEditing#HSimpleandAdvancededitingprofiles

That’s not the role of hidden pages. If you want a user to not see a page you need to set permissions on it.

Hope it helps
