Would it make sense, in this case, to make a checkbox that is displayed
to admins in case the docextra tab is hidden?
(maybe this would edit a webpreferences object?)
It seems to me that the desire to hide the docextra tab is for any page
that displays some kind of summary: you'd expect the docextra function
on "data pages" not on "summary pages"; i suppose this is likely to
be
the case of many other pages.

Hi,
#docextra tabs are particular important for content pages where users are
encouraged to comment, attach, revise history, etc.
But since XWiki is more than a wiki and the application usage has
expanded,
we removed the #docextra tab from many XWiki Contrib applications, like:
File Manager, Forum, Calendar, etc.
The logic behind was that the applications have as main purpose the
management of applications entities, not commenting for example.
Also with the Flamingo Skin, the shortcuts to Comments, Attachments, etc.
can be found in the 'More actions' menu.
So, my question to you is: What do you think about removing the #docextra
also for default/bundled applications like:
- Blog.WebHome
- Dashboard.WebHome
- Panels.WebHome
- Scheduler.WebHome
- Stats.WebHome
- Main.WebHome?
If we adopt this practice we could document it on:
http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#HApplicationDesign or
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPra…
Thanks,
Caty
