+1 for 3A), despite the fact that user needs to scroll through all the pages to 
add his new one.There are 2 usecases for adding a new page:
* the user hasn't found the page he's looking for -- in which case he'd need to 
see the whole list anyway (maybe with a search filter)
* the user knows that the page does not exist and wants to put a link to it -- 
in which case I think he knows what he's doing and he'd use the "advanced 
input" 
anyway.

I find the add option _at the end_ (A) more natural than _at the beginning_ (B, 
C), because you're supposed to add new things when you've explored all other 
possibilities and none suited your needs.

Happy coding,
