This might be a bug, but will discuss it here first.
Clicking on an old "?" or going to a create link but new Markdown content exists, should not go into "create" mode, but should do a regular "edit".

I belive that currently it does a redirect to the new static web page.
At least that's the intent of the code. --[[Joey]]


Try at your site: ?page=discussion&from=index&do=create
It brings up an empty textarea to start a new webpage -- even though it already exists here. --reed


Ah, right. Notice that the resulting form allows saving the page as
discussion, or users/discussion, but not index/discussion, since this
page already exists. If all the pages existed, it would do the redirect
thing. --[[Joey]]
