I think the location is ok for its purpose, gives you a centralized place
where you can manage your xwiki content.
We could have a link on the deleted page Notice ("The following versions are
in the *recycle bin*") that targets the "Deleted Documents" tabs. We need to
decide on which naming conversion we choose (Recycle Bin vs. Trash vs.
Deleted Documents) and use a single naming.

We can solve the crowdedness with some organization, like:
- Index Tab: change Page, Space into Document, Location (Parent). This way
we can move the Orphaned Pages Tab into the Index Tab and leave Parent
column empty for Orphaned Pages (this way you can filter them)
- Attachments could be encapsulated into a Documents Tab that has a Type
column that states if the entity is a page or an attachment.
- Recycle Bin Tab should contain pages and attachments in the same place.
This way we should have:
All Documents (Pages, Attachments, Orphaned Pages),
Tree View,
Recycle Bin (Pages, Attachments, Oprhaned Pages [this is not important] )
The separation into the previous categories (page, attachments, orphaned)
would be done by using the LiveTable filters.

It's a place where you could restore a page to become valid again.

In our OSs there are no multiples recycle bins. A recycle bin manage all the
deleted content.

I don't think this is an administration action, but an edit one. If I delete
a document by mistake I should be able to restore it (from it's page or from
the recycle bin).

+1 If I have edit rights I should be able to restore any document.
Observations for further improvements:
We need to keep the consistency for the AllDocs:
- Date format: 2010 January 4, 13:49 [Attachments, Deleted Documents]
vs. 2010/01/04 13:55 [Index, Orphaned Pages]
- Page, Space columns vs. Document, Title
- Actions icons: with informative text [Index, Oprhaned Pages] or without
[Deleted Documents, Attachments gives no action]
- Descriptive last modification message: Author, Deleted by.
