How to create a link to a page that will, if the page doesn't exist, create the page?

[Aaron Bernstein]

this is a repeat of this unanswered question: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-to-create-a-link-to-a-page-that-will-create-the-page-if-it/qaq-p/2375182

To reiterate:

- we are linking from outside of confluence, e.g. in some software that we create

- the link points to a page on our confluence cloud instance

- if the page exists, the user should be taken to that page

- if the page does not exist, the user should be taken to the "create page" screen

- this was working in previous versions of confluence, using `createPage.action`

- currently, there does not appear to be a way to do this with a single url.

-- One must either link to a page that exists (and if it does not exist, you will get a "We couldn't find what you're looking for" error)
-- or to the create page link, and if the page already exists, you will not be notified until after you try to press publish

I'm not a Confluence expert, but I don't believe that this is a feature in the core product. It seems like a WIKI feature. Perhaps looking at extensions related to that might get you closer? Good luck!

This was working in previous versions of Confluence, with the `&linkCreation=true` url parameter.

As it seems to have regressed, are there no workarounds?

Is Confluence not a Wiki anymore?
