Creating a page in the NS:Document with Form:Document
If a namespace is assigned a default form then clicking a red link with a proposed new page name will automatically invoke the form. However, if the form is assigned to a category, the system does not know which form - if any - to use until a category has been assigned - ie the page created. The only way to get around this appears to be to invoke the 'Form:Document' first, then put the proposed name in the sigle presented field. That's what I just did for this page - after deleting your near-blank one first. --Peter P (talk) 15:02, 15 December 2013 (GMT)
- That's a neater way, but it's not the only way. I thought, as long as the page is in category:Doc, it'll offer me the "Edit with Form" option, so I made a dummy page in the right category and edited that. If the page hadn't been deleted, it would have worked. Firefox - usually good at remembering contents of text boxes submitted - somehow lost it this time. :( Robin (talk) 15:37, 15 December 2013 (GMT)
- Oh dear. Sorry. The 'edit with form' showed when I accessed it but displayed the yellow 'Caution, this page was not created with this form' message. I also noticed it WAS assigned to Category:Doc too. I was ready to go with all the wikitext mark-up for the new page so figured better to delete and start again with it than have that yellow warning popping up --Peter P (talk) 13:48, 16 December 2013 (GMT)
