Page Forms: Creating new pages does not work.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

  1. I've created a form, named HWComponentMemoryForm.
  2. Now I use the special page FormStart to create a new page.
  3. I enter the title Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1-8G
  4. I get redirected to: http://XX.XX.XX.XX/hwwiki/index.php?title=Special:FormEdit/HWComponentMemoryForm/:Kingston_KHX1600C10D3B1-8G which is wrong. The title for the page is set to :Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1-8G not Kingston KHX1600C10D3B1-8G which is plain wrong.

Event Timeline

It seems that the page creation process provided by Page Forms is completely broken - see my other bug report. I've been using SMW for a decade now and - sorry to say that - I'm quite surprised to find the quality of the extension now to be so poor :-( It has never been perfect but now I even can't create new pages with forms. I can not use the current release - named stable - in a productive environment. Nevertheless I' be willing to assist as far as I can but I'd need a bit of advice how to be able to contribute.

You did indeed find a bug - I don't think many people are going directly to Special:FormStart, which is probably why no one has reported it until now. I just checked in what I think is a fix.
