I think it should not be in the AllDocs UI. Linked from the QuickLinks as "Macro Directory" maybe? Possibly from the WYSIWYG insert macro dialog UI, with a open in new window link, WDYT ? > >> 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. The description page should be IMO the macro page itself as much as possible (with a MacroClassSheet) That's the XWiki way of applications and it allows to have the edit button which brings the macro in inline edition mode. For non-wiki macros, we can either say there is no such page - or use a generic page with a parameter like you did with Macro?id=XXX. Jerome.
