IMHO, those pages can contain more than lists and actions. Since skins deal 
(ideally) with layout and not function, I'd have to cast a vote in favor of 
naming the pages by location. And in order to have them sorted in the same 
place,
* in the browser for making sure they're there or
* in (:pagelist:) directives for editing purposes (no more hunting for them 
up and down a list)
, I agree with

PageTop
PageBottom
PageLeft
PageRight

where "Page" (my favorite cos it's descriptive), could also be "Bar" or "Menu"

Of course, Sidebar stays for backwards comp and could very well 
(:redirect:) silently either of these pages

And all these don't exclude the use of a general PageFooter to be used 
throughout the wiki for describing it.

However, all these remarks are about skins. I don't see why they would 
affect the core pmwiki. How much overhead (time and memory used) and 
bandwidth are added by including 4-6 pages on each served page, anyway?
