Depends on how we see the recycle bin:

   - A tool for Admins to recover wiki content -> the Trash could be a icon
   in the Administration and show all documents
   - A tool for anyone to recover wiki content -> the Trash could be linked
   from Quick Links and show documents deleted by me, unless I'm an admin and
   it would show all deleted documents
   - Since right now IIRC one needs only the edit right to restore a deleted
   document we could also show all the deleted documents that one has the right
   to restore

I guess that for now the UI is a fairly generic one, thus I'm ok with
keeping it on the AllDocs page until we redesign either that page, the wiki
administration or both.
