However I think that for Wiki macro the action column should propose to edit/delete the macro. Question: Where should this macro directory be displayed in the wiki? In AllDocs as a new tab? Somewhere else? Only for admins in the admin page? > Macro Description Page: > http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/Macro?id=wc99 I wonder if both the macro directory and this description page pages should be located in the wiki macro application. There's already a I'll send another email later on to try to provide feedback on the stuff below.
