<div><div>The Creating New Pages pages documentation found at <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CreatingNewPages" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/CreatingNewPages
</a> says, "Another way to create a page: in your browser's address bar (where the page URL is), replace the name of the current page with the name of the page you wish to create, and hit Enter or do whatever you would normally do to go to a new location.
<span>PmWiki</span> will then dutifully tell you that the page you entered doesn't exist, but you can click on the "Edit" link in order to create, edit, and save the new page."</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Unfortunately, this does not appear to be the case, at least not for PmWiki running on IIS (Windows Server 2003 with php engine installed). In this case, if you're sitting at the existing page, <a href="http://host/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://host/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage</a> and you replace "HomePage" with "Test" to change the link to <a href="http://host/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Test" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://host/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Test
</a>, after pressing enter, you're taken to the browser's Error 404 page and there is no Edit link to click.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone else run into this and found a way to work around it?</div></div></blockquote></div>I don't know about the cause or a fix, but a work-around is (should be) to change <a href="http://host/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://host/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HomePage</a> to <a href="http://host/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Test" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://host/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Test?action=edit
