+### Child Pages Endpoint
+
+Confluence Cloud has deprecated `GET /wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}/children`. The
+`get_child_pages()` method uses the replacement endpoint,
+`GET /wiki/api/v2/pages/{id}/direct-children`.
+
+The replacement endpoint uses the `read:hierarchical-content:confluence`
+scope and may return direct children of different content types, including
+pages, folders, databases, embeds, and whiteboards. The returned child objects
+contain minimal information; use the appropriate resource method to retrieve
+full details.
+
 ## Response Structure Changes
 
 The response structure differs significantly between v1 and v2 APIs:
