Namespace for configuration pages

[Necoro]

The current pages used for configuration (eg. Menu or Icons) are handled as 'normal' pages and thus clutter the namespace.

I would suggest to move them to "+config/..." or something different. Thus it is easy to spot what is configuration and what is not.

It might even be thinkable, that these pages are hidden from "+index/" by default.

It's a great idea to distinguish the configuration pages somehow -- thank you.

On the other hand, using a prefix like you suggest has one drawback. Let us say I use /+config/style.css for the stylesheet customization. Then I would need some URL for accessing the raw content of that file, to link to in the page headers. I could use something like /+config+download/style.css or something like /+download/+config/style.css. But in both cases, if the stylesheet refers to any images in the wiki, it would need to explicitly use the /+download/image.png URL (or play with relative URLs), whereas now, when the stylesheet is /+download/style.css it can just link to image.png.

I think that your idea is still great, I will just use a special prefix character, just like I do it with '+' for the system pages and '~' for the user pages. Something like /$style.css perhaps. It may be a little obscure though...

Mhm - you are right. And it yields problems concerning the location in the pages-directory.

But perhaps: Instead of some virtual "+config", a real "+config"-folder could be created. Then one could put the images there, if one wants to. (And other pages too, if one feels like it).

That would only work with the subdirectories enabled, and I don't particularly like that option.
