I entered [[Edward Doty (1705-?)]] and then went to create the sensor page. What got created was [[Edward Doty (1705-]]. I didn't notice this error until after I had created [[Edward Doty (1705-/tree]]. I then went back to [[Edward Doty (1705-?)]] and tried to create the sensor page again, and got a page headed "Add Sensor Page: Edward Doty (1705-" with a message in red, "The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists...."

Revision as of 07:09, 20 March 2010
I entered Edward Doty (1705-?) and then went to create the sensor page. What got created was Edward Doty (1705-. I didn't notice this error until after I had created Edward Doty (1705-/tree. I then went back to Edward Doty (1705-?) and tried to create the sensor page again, and got a page headed "Add Sensor Page: Edward Doty (1705-" with a message in red, "The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists...."

- I think I complained about something similar a week or two ago. A totally unfriendly error message for someone who has made not the slightest attempt to MOVE anything (even if you may have been planning to). See if you can find my complaint. It's nearly my bedtime. There may be a solution in editing the address URL, as I've just found for a similar problem. — Robin Patterson (Talk) 12:13, March 7, 2010 (UTC)

Not getting sensor page button
In recent days I've had a few pages refuse to offer a sensor page button after I create the article then click "Edit with form". Here's the latest:
I fixed one by going for the advanced page then trying again. But that didn't work for this bloke. Tough guy indeed!
