Processwire 2.5 naming pages

[BFD Calendar]

Apparently there are some changes in Processwire 2.5 when new pages are added. When adding a page with a title that already exists, Processwire automatically changes the page name to 'pagename1'. Before, Processwire would tell me that the title/name already existed and forced to use an other name.

For my website the new behaviour is rather awkward. When I add a new 'place', say 'Processtown, Wirestate, Forumland' to the already 2000 present, Processwire will add a new page, which I don't want. So now when I want to add a new place I have to check before if it already exists.

Worse is when I add a new 'event', say '30 September 2014'. When it already exists, Processwire will add a page '30-september-2015', which is not what I want. Processwire warns me that a different pagename was used, but still it's confusing and could easily lead to unwanted errors.

Perhaps it's possible to change this setting somewhere I don't know of....

I agree with you. Maybe this should be made configurable (if it isn't already)...

+1 for making it configurable. I personally feel better if not "1" but "-1", "-001" or even "-{$page->id}" gets added.

Same for the 1 step page adding functionality. I think it worth putting into roadmap.
