1~3 main use cases of the proposed feature
The current terminology of AF confuses me a little. There's the "New Page" button at the bottom of the sidebar, but the "page" created acts as more of a group than a page that I can write on. However, if I click the plus button on one of these pages, which has a tooltip that reads, "Quickly add a page inside", I get the option to choose from 2 types of pages, which I can write on. I think that this would be less confusing if the button at the bottom of the sidebar said "New Group" instead of "New Page", as it more accurately describes what it does.

What types of users can benefit from using your proposed feature
Users that would get confused because of the conflicting terms used in AF.

Will this issue be solved if we rename the "New Page" to "New Group" at the bottom of the sidebar?
If so then it is a Good First Issue Candidate.

I'd prefer to keep "New Page" at the moment
We plan to redesign the sidebar in Q4. Will come back to this issue.
