I'm -1 for "File" too, "Page seems more appropriate"

Ok so let's talk about mozilla menu entries then ;)

Ok

I was waiting for someone to raise this one, I'm testing the proposal
3 on my local xwiki and I confirm that it's annoying for people
accustomed to the edit at the left.

This proposal was an attempt of a more desktopish layout.
(Page/Edit/View). BTW i never liked "Show" ;)

Page/Edit/View wait for it.. Bookmarks -> File/Edit/View/Watchlist
(since bookmark doesn't fit here).

> * I'd be fine with keeping the current Edit and Show menus and
> collapse the Delete, Rename and other actions into an "Actions" menu
> (or "Other actions")

-1 for the hodge-podge until we had discussed all the other options ;)
