Hi Guillaume,

I have started a new discussion [1] on the topic of the new location of the
Add menu in Flamingo which is, IMO, the real problem here.

Regarding your actual proposal, I`d be inclined to -1 it, as IMO it makes
basic CRUD operations on the wiki model harder to perform (i.e. harder to
find), and what we`d like to do is help people create content and
structure, not the other way around.

Thanks,
Eduard
