You can insert the page number independently from the page formatting in
Writer. The opposite is true for Impress where you insert a page number but
remove it by changing the master layout. The page number is furthermore part of
the master details hardly comparable to page settings in Writer.

While I understand your concerns the issue remains: two functions lead to the
same dialog. That's confusing for users. And I believe we make it more clear
that page numbers are not the same as in Writer when the header/footer elements
go to some other place.

Alternatively (and even better IMHO) the page number would be a toggle function
disabled when the element is excluded in the master slide (see comment 6). But
the decision was made by ESC to better not touch .uno commands which brought us
to the current situation.

More opinions are welcome.
