You're right that if we add SPACE then we might as well add a WIKI  
menu too...

Actions can be done at the page level, space level or wiki level.

I'm not sure either although having a SPACE>Export as PDF and  
WIKI>Export as PDF is nice I think, unless we consider these to the  
admin actions (which is also possible since they take quite a lot of  
resources).

The admin actions could be scattered in the PAGE, SPACE and WIKI  
menus (they'd only be visible when the user has admin rights).

WDTY?

Thanks
