Right now you have an easy way to navigate to that content by using
"Show"
in the action menu (links to Comments, Attachments, History,
Information).
The problem with this submenu is that it's not intuitive and not well
placed. We have many actions in it and we don't know what are
important and
what are helpfull. And here comes the discussions about redesigning
the
information architecture in the menu.
I agree.
Right now we
kind of have this already with the action toolbar but I
have the feeling it can be improved and it doesn't have a link to the
page info for example.
Here's a example:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Confluence+2.8+Screen+and+Menu+…
If you're logged in then the Tools menu has more actions.
- One think I like is the link to view the latest change directly at
the top (in the line that says who was the last modifier).
- Another nice thing is the little icon showing the attachment and
the
number of attachments
FOSWiki also does it with icons and I don't feel they're standing in
the way of the content:

The bad things about the examples is that they take you to other
page to
show you that information and I don't like that. They take away the
context.
I agree but then it's also a question of how much you have to display.
If you look at the info page for confluence you'll see it has a lot of
information in it.
