[xwiki-devs] [UX] Page templates availability

Hi, The Template Provider allows setting the locations where the template must be available. Some applications need/encourage their pages to be located in a particular app location. Currently, if we set such a location for a template, the template will be listed in the "Create Page" step only if the user navigates to that location and clicks on the "Add" button. One behavior could be that all templates are displayed each time the user clicks on 'Add', regardless of the initial location. This would mean splitting the current Location functionality into "Template Visibility" and "Creation location restrictions": - Ideally "Template Visibility" should not be restricted, but we would need to keep this field in order to be backward compatible with the current behavior. - "Creation location restrictions" would indicate if the page needs to be created in a particular location. The user will not be allowed to create somewhere else and be warned by an error message. This mail's purpose is to debate: A. If templates should be visible everywhere or just in a particular location? B. Should we recommend applications to restrict the creation of pages to a particular location? Let me know what you think.
