Hi devs,

In the past it was possible to see the space index even when on a page that 
didn’t exist.

We’ve lost this feature when we introduced the children/siblings menu entry at 
the page edition level (in the ‘other’ menu on the right).

We have 2 choices:
A) Keep it like this
B) Display the ‘other' menu and children/silbing entry even when on a page that 
doesn’t exist.

The rationale for B) is that XWiki allows creating pages inside pages that 
don’t exist, so even if you’re on a non-existing pages, it’s still interesting 
to be able to see children/siblings.

A use case I got today:
* I was on Admin.WebHome. There were 53 children doc.
* I renamed Admin.WebHome with children to another space
* The rename failed but Admin.WebHome was moved
* I wanted to quickly list the children of Admin.WebHome that were not moved.

Of course I could have navigated away and opened the drawer to go to AllDocs 
and then filter on Admin but that’s extra work. I was looking for a children LT 
view and realized it wasn’t displayed because I was on a non-existing page.

WDYT? What do you prefer between A) and B)?

Thanks
-Vincent
