Good point. I'm not entirely happy with that either and will look into that.

Yeah, it show an animated GIF in an overlay with a simulated progress 
bar. I'll check what jQuery and Bootstrap have for this out of the box 
and will see if something matches our needs. If not? I'll come up with 
something.

It's always been a bit below the Save button - even in Adminica. :o)

I don't think I want to move it anywhere else. The Wiki-button, the 
copyright and the "Page rendered in ..." are in the footer of the theme 
in three DIV blocks. The block with the page load time is turned 
invisible when the screen isn't wide enough.

But if it bothers you? Go to "Software Updates" / "Support" / "Settings" 
and in the "Wiki Settings" tab you can flip the switch on "Wiki enabled".

Very well. In the last three months I went through all GUI pages several 
times, so this is all fairly well tested for the elements that one 
usually sees or the features that one usually uses. There might still be 
the minor glitches in some borderline scenarios.
