Nice touch Caveman.  At this point I'll add in another technique I use on
some of my sites.

Here is the definition of my Site.PageFootMenu

->''$[Page last modified on] {$LastModified}''
[[<<]]
(:if auth edit:)
*[[{$Name}?action=edit | $[Edit] ]]
*[[{$Name}?action=diff | $[Page History] ]]
*%newwin%[[{$Name}?action=source | $[Source] ]]
*[[Site.Search?q={$Group}/ | $[List Group] ]]
(:ifend:)
(:if auth admin:)
* [[Site.Search?q=link={$FullName} | $[Backlinks] ]]
*[[{$Name}?action=upload | $[Attach File] ]]
*[[{$Name}?action=attr| $[Attributes] ]]
*[[{$Group}.GroupAttributes| $[Group Attributes] ]]
(:ifend:)

This means the standard row of buttons only appear if you already have
authority to use them.  I do this because I am primarily using PmWiki as a
website builder and not as a collaborative system.  Therefore nobody
(visitors to my site) generally realise it is a Wiki (except for the
'powered by'!)

When I want to edit a page, I just manually append ?action=login to the URL
and enter my admin password and then I can whisk around the site editing
anything and everything.  Also, when I am logged in as Admin I get a new
link on my SideBar which goes to my Site.Admin page which in turn contains
links to things such as skin configs, edit sidebar, sandbox, etc.
