Best way to deal with unneeded parent?

[onjegolders]

Was wondering what the best way to handle unneeded parents was?

For example I have a testimonials page that will only contain it's children, it won't have any of its own content.

Should this be locked and if so, is there a quicker way for the end-user to enter many children?

Can a parent and child have separate templates?

Am just trying to get my head around this as a former EE (channels) user.

Thanks

Parent and child can have separate templates. You can even specify what kind of children/parent pages are allowed from family tab.

If I have situation where parent doesn't have content of it's own, I usually do some of these:

• just redirect it to first child
  
• list all children with links (just in case and for search engines

You can also leave the parent template without a file to throw a 404 when the page is accessed.
