Unable to rename a page

Question

When editing a page and its name, I receive an error: "Give your page a unique name". But the name is unique already. Also, I tried to rename the page via tree menu. But it gives me an error as well and says 'That name already exists'. I don't understand why it doesn't accept the unique name I gave. Are there any logs that show other pages with the same name?

Thank you

I have the same issue and there's no page in archive/trash that has that name.  No special characters either. Odd.

Thank you! This solved my issue - a page with the same name had been archived but not deleted. Many thanks for sharing your outcome.

Hi everyone,

I'm experiencing the same issue. The name was used before, but the page has since been deleted. It seems to be a bug. Has anyone found a workaround? I prefer not to use special characters in the page name.

Thanks!

Update: the page was actually archived, not deleted. So I simply restored the page. Also, found out that it's possible to restore deleted pages from Space settings > Manage content > Trash
