Creating A Page With The Same Name Error

[Chilayne Barratt]

I'm trying to create a new page called 'Processes' and receive the error:

"A page with the title "Processes" already exists within this space. Enter a different title for your page"

I am unable to locate a page with the same title anywhere in the current space or our entire Wiki. I'm wondering if someone else has created a page with the same name but restricted access to this specific page. I can't find anything in my search results.

Does anyone know how I can go about locating this phantom page?

Hi @Chilayne Barratt,

Usually, you can verify the confluence page by:
<Confluence base url>/display/<SPACEKEY>/Processes

If the page is restricted then you cannot view the page, better go with different page name.

Thanks,
Ram.

Hi @Rambabu Patina _Appfire_

Thanks so much for your reply.

The page really needed to be called 'Processes' so wasn't as simple as just choosing a different name unfortunately. However, after digging around I managed to figure out that a page with the same name was already created but had restricted permissions.

I was able to locate it by going to space tools > restricted access and locating the page. 

I'm only a space admin so don't think I can grant myself access (will need to contact our system admin to see if they can grant access as the page owner if off work at the moment).

Thanks a lot for the URL tip since that works too! I'll remember moving forward :)

Cheers,

Chilayne

Hi,

I know I'm late in the game, but I was facing the same problem. Being a space admin didn't help either, as the page causing the problem wasn't listed in the restricted pages, which left me a bit dumbfounded.

However, this tip with the URL (kinda obvious in retrospect, but somethimes you need such tips ;)) helped, as it told me the page is restricted because it inherited the restriction from its parent! So even if I still don't know which page the parent is supposed to be, at least the riddle of the missing but conflicting page is solved.

Thanks for the tip!
