I'm not quite fond of this idea, but something more complex would work.
If the page already exists, offer a few options:
- link to the page so that the user can go to it and edit it instead of
creating a new page
- let the user type another page name
- use getUniquePageName, which appends a number at the end
- append the current date at the end

Indeed, I just tried in 2.2M2 and it tells you the document exists. in 2.04
I
did not delete the older post, it got overwritten so now I had 2 posts with
the exact same title and content in the News category, it's still here in
our wiki. And I actually updated the first post which updated both posts!
They are identical, same date, title and content.
The solution to tell user that document already exist is not very good. In
time you may have hundreds of blog entries in one category, making it
pretty
hard to keep titles unique. In our case we wanted to use it to post what
testing is to be done for the week. So each week you want to post an entry
such as "Weekly testing". It'll be hard to come up with unique variants to
that every week!
You can modify the article creation form to add something like:
$xwiki.getUniquePageName($space, $input)

details.
Sergiu, I'm starting to think we could add this to most of the creation
forms to avoid duplicates, WDYT?
I'm increasingly doing it for apps I write on my projects (almost all the
time now).
