Cannot Publish the page, error came out "A page with this name already exists....."

Question

Dear Expert,

Since last Friday (Dec 03, 2021) suddenly the page https://metrodata.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MIS/pages/12255429/Projects cannot be Published. The error message appears "A page with this name already exists. The page name must be unique in spaces. Give your page a different name to publish it" (screenshot below).

The steps I did were:

1) Go to https://metrodata.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MIS/pages/12255429/Projects

2) Click on Edit button

3) Update the content in table in that page.

4) Click on Publish button

Then the error "A page with this name already exists. The page name must be unique in spaces. Give your page a different name to publish it".

5) Click on Close button

6) Logout

7) Close the browser

8) Repeat steps 1 to 4 above. Then the same error still comes out.

What should I do to solve that problem.

Please your good advice.

Thanks in advance.

I am not an admistrator.

Hi @Suzanna Dwi ,

As stated in the system prompt, within a space, the page name cannot be repeated.

You need to rename the page, such as Project --> Project2021
