But this input form isn't parsed in any script except pmwiki core,
in that pmwiki already uses these $_REQUEST variables during processing.

So when the form is posted, the server at {$ScriptUrl} gets this:

action=edit&template=Blog.Template&pagename=Blog.This+is+a+test

exactly as in the URL I proposed in my original message.

Maybe the actual question should've been whether PmWiki supports
specifying both, the pagename and the action for the pagename in one
request, as POST/GET variables.

But I think it does, as
http://pmwiki.org/index.php?n=PmWiki.MyTest1&action=edit
works fine, but not when the pagename has spaces (encoded in either '+'
or '%20').
