I have removed:
- The "mine" link for sorting — if the hammer pattern is used, it will only be useful for admins, and we should avoid features that 90% of users can't use!
Suggested removals:
- Page name from the table, and from popups — this should be encapsulated away and hidden. Page numbering is for maintenance reasons, why do we want to see what the page's unix name is on the main page?
- Creator/Created/Editor/Edited — Why not just have "creator" and "last updated date" ?
- Size, number of edits — this is interesting from a statistical point of view, but not for people that want to use the FAQs - I suggest replacing those two columns with the column 'rating', then then ordering with highest rating at the top, by default
I'd spend time making those suggestions happen myself,but don't have time to look through the source code at the moment.
And it's worth discussing such changes first, anyway.

We have three sites using this code; patterns, faq, and hammer-template.
… We can work on any one and then reinstall the others. I am waiting desperately for Michal to make CSIs so this mess will go away.
I'd try to keep the same table on all sites that use it. So most of your proposals work but I'd keep size and edits. Sorting by rating is sensible.
Once this works we can use it for the design section too. Very nice.

OK, I've made most of these changes and adjusted the width of the columns, it looks pretty nice.
The item numbering (page name) is important IMO because it's how people refer to pages from elsewhere (think of the design section, we speak of 'design:20' etc.).

Last thing still to do is make the hovers work better.

Yes, it does. A lot less cluttered now :)
