To be honest I think we should not have too many menu entries, or we might
need to find a way to split it again (just like we did with copy, delete,
etc.)
That's why I am not very fond of creating the 'Included Pages' and the
'Backlinks' viewers. I don't find them that useful and they are somehow
technical. We removed Children from Information in order to replace Space
Index and also because we have the Children / Sibling mix.
The issue is that once you say that the menu displays “information about the page” it’s
not very logical to have an entry named “Information” any more (since there are others
information entries). It could be named “More Information” or “Extra Information" but
not “Information”.
I agree that View Source could be moved in
Information.
Does it mean you’re ok with the other bullet point entries?
Also I didn’t mention it, but this proposal means reorganizing the VMs (menu_content.vm
and shortcuts.cm) since right now the vm for displaying the second part of the More
Actions menu is called shortcuts.vm and its first line is:
#if (!$docextralinks && !$docextras)
