Name of the page

[Stanislav]

I got space "W" i want to write names of the pages only in english letters in this space, is it possible?
I understand that there is nothing you can do out of the box functions to get this result
But maybe community will help me to find alternative way
Also if to use JS it will work everywhere in confluence, how big will be the impact of this will it slow down confluence?

Forgive me, I may have misunderstood this, but I think what you are asking for here is to validate the names of pages, stopping people from using more unusual (not plain English) characters in them.

You will struggle to inject, maintain or reliably use javascript to do this in Confluence.   (Even if you did, there's more than one way to create a page, and you'd need to be worrying about all of the places it might be done)

You're also right about apps, I can't see one that would enforce or correct page names. 

However, I have done it in the past, twice, with a little bit of coding.  The first one morphed into the second as a next step.  The first was a very simple report - on a regular basis, Confluence emailed the admins (or, rather, curators) with a list of pages with "bad" names.  The next step was a listener type function that sent the email when the page was saved (create or edit).  Eventually, that changed into a routine that automatically changed the page names without admin/curator involved (it simply dropped out any character that would stop Confluence having a "human friendly link" and emailed the author to warn them it had corrected their error and remind them to stop doing it)

Yes, you right
I'm from Russia and users can write i Russian language and i need only in English

So as i understand you can't stop users from doing it

Maybe the best practice for me will warn them not to do it
Smth like warning message

Thx

A quick trick might be to use the html header options (a global setting) to put a simple ask on-screen, like an "announcement banner" - a line of text above or below the main menu saying "Please write (page titles) in English".

It won't stop anyone, but it might help remind some of them.
