One-step Page Creation: Skip "Add New" and go directly to the resulting page

[SwimToWin]

Skip the "Add New" dialog page on Page Tree and elsewhere and go directly to the resulting page that shows all page fields right away. Page creation is now improving from being a two-step to becoming a one-step process.

Scenarios:

1. When only one Template can be selected:
   1. Skip the intermediate "Add New" dialog page by adding a GUID or other temporary page name that is later renamed.
   2. Show the final editing page so user can start editing all fields right away
   3. On Save: Page name is renamed with title
2. When multiple Templates can be selected:
   1. Ask user to select Template on clicking New (before leaving the Tree Page).
   2. Then use the "one Template" flow above.

(I am aware why the Page Name is needed.)

That's exactly how things already work ? At least the first part of your message. https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-2.5-changelog/#adding-pages

@bernhard - Please elaborate. In ProcessWire 3.0.165 I get this intermediate "Add New" page when creating a page. If only one template can be used, the page is still shown - just without the Template field.

<- The purpose is to get rid of this "Add New" page.

@SwimToWin - did you make the template settings changes described in the post that @bernhard linked to?
