Not quite. The Sharepoint [[ tends to lead to a lot of half-posted pages that never get built.

Confluence is a bit better. If you put [<page name>] or [<space:page name>] on a page, it looks for that page. If it finds it exists, it links to the page. If it does not find it, the link goes to "create this page".

thansk Nic for the tip, this is great. I have one more question. the page it creates it's a blank page, can you then change it to another format ? how ?

There are no page formats in Confluence, a page is a page. There are templates and blueprints which can pre-populate a load of stuff and hence help you write stuff in a standardised format, but they really are templates - there's nothing to stop you removing everything they do once you use one.

This [] link takes you to a an empty page with no template/blueprint because it can't know which one you might want to use. When it does this to me, and I want to use a template, I tend to just copy the title and then use the drop-down next to create to select the template or blueprint I want, discarding the automatic empty page.
