Description

ew

Currently, if you create a new page with a name that already exists, it silently overwrites the existing one without any warning and you lose all the content.

We should either:

  • Give the user a warning in a dialog
  • Make it the same behaviour as when you paste a page with an existing name. Today, in that case, you get it as {name}-copy. For the create scenario, it could be {name}-1
