This will be made clearer once we move the action bar closer to the content area. Therefore we should make clear that the create button does stuff related to the current page by: - renaming "Page" into "Child page" - make sure that the created page has the current one set as its parent - renaming "Page from Office Document" into "Child page from Office Document" - make sure that the created page has the current page as its parent (might require a couple changes to the OOImporter XApplication) Making the created page a child of the current page has at least 3 benefits: - it respects the wiki philosophy that pages should always be linked together (no orphan pages) - it is consistent with other action bars action (creating a child page is related to the current page) - it makes it easier to create a tree-like navigation structure (we often do that on wiki pages: create a new page that links towards a set of pages) - we could also introduce a {{childrenpages /}} macro to make the creation of tree stuctures even easier
