Note duplicate page titles

[Bob Do]

Is it possible to get an indication when creating a page if there is already a page with the same page title in another space?

Hi Bob,

Since Confluence doesn't allow you to create two pages with the same name (even across spaces), then it will give you an error should you try. It will say that there's already a page with that name.

There was a feature request to allow duplicate page names, but we will not be implementing it.

• CONFSERVER-2524

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Shannon

That's totally correct. You can have two pages with the same name in different spaces. The unique page name rule is only limited to pages within the same space.

I know that. I would like a hint if there are already sites in other spaces with the same name.

You're absolutely right, @Davin Studer, my apologies. I had thought the last time I tried this it wouldn't allow it, but I was wrong.

I've created a feature request for this below:

• CONFSERVER-56392

I have made a note that it should be an optional setting, because I can foresee many users finding this to be an unwanted feature.

If you could do me a favor and please comment on that case why this would be useful for you and vote on it, it will help to get it seen by our development team for consideration.

Shannon
