I don't like it. The point of this Add menu is to make it extra *simple* to create new pages. If I have to navigate first to the right space, we fail this goal and we don't need template providers at all since we can offer buttons to create objects from the space's webhomes. IMO we really need a way to create new pages with objects from anywhere else in the wiki.
