-Perhaps I'm just too stupid to find the proper way to do this, but how would I add a new page to the wiki without selecting to edit an already installed one and frobbing the URL to direct to the to-be-created page? --[[ThomasSchwinge]]

-Good point. Of course one way is to start with creating a link to the page, which also helps prevent orphans. But other wikis based on CGI do have this a bit easier, since they can detect an attempt to access a nonexistant page and show an edit page. Ikiwiki can't do that (unless its web server is configured to do smart things on a 404).

-Some wikis also provide a UI means for creating a new page. If we can find something good, that can be added to ikiwiki's UI. --[[Joey]]

-Hmm, maybe just a preprocessor directive that creates a form inside a page, like is used for blog posting already would suffice? Then the main page of a wiki could have a form for adding new pages, if that directive were included there.
-Won't work for subpages though, unless the directive were added to the parent page. However, unconnected subpages are surely an even rarer thing to want than unconnected top level pages. --[[Joey]] \ No newline at end of file

+Maybe a very simple PHP frontend for serving the
+statically generated pages, that would display a page editing form or
+something like that for non-existent pages, wouldn't be too bad a thing
+and resource hog? Just a thought... --[[Tuomov]]
