When you create a child page, there's no obvious sign it's there unless you edit the parent page to put in the

{children} macro. If I hadn't just been reading the backlog of Jira updates, I'd have been confused as to what had really happened in creating the child. Where'd it go?

Perhaps there should be a "this page has children" icon by the page title, which when clicked launches a popup that lists the children. This way the children would always be available somehow, even in the absence of the children macro.

Alternatively, when a page's first child is created, if it doesn't already have a {children}

macro in the page, confluence should insert one at the end like thus:

Child Pages

{children}

The assumption being that in creating a child, the user wants it listed somewhere.
