Hi Vishal,
That’s an interesting feedback. We’ve tried to already solve this issue in recent versions
of XWiki by having a simplified Page Creation UI but apparently you think there’s still a
problem so we need to discuss that to try to find a solution.

I want to display Page Name field only while page creation.
By default currently it is shown as:

Note that on this screenshot the only thing that the use fills is “Title”. Why is that
causing a confusion?
Technically we have both notions: Page name and Title. But in the UI shown to the users
they only see Title (and internally set the page name to be that title). So they don’t
need to know about the Page name concept. I’m curious to know why your users know about
the page name concept.
It is creating a lot of confusion for my users between
Title and Name, and I
don't suppose to explain it to them all. They couldn't understand this
complexity..
You just need to explain to them the title concept. I’m referring to simple users of your
wiki. Of course if you also have developers doing scripting in the wiki then they probably
need to understand both concepts.
Now if you really want to explain the difference between the 2:
* Page name is to control the URL displayed, so that you can hand-craft nice URLs for SEO
reasons or other
* Title is simply what gets displayed in the UI when you view a page
1) I wish to remove the Title field from this Page
creation dialog and
display url field instead.
Currently, by clicking the pencil/edit icon, the parent and name fields are
displayed.

Only advanced users have the options to click this pencil button. And our rationale is
that advanced users know the difference between page name and title.
2) Is there any way to set this edit icon by default
to display these
fields?
I’m lost here. You’re saying that there’s a confusion and you want to always show both
fields? :)
3) And can I rename Name field to URL/Link to clear
the confusions??
If you’re prepared to bring changes to your instance, you can modify everything in xwiki.
You can do this by creating a custom skin and overriding the createinline.vm template.
But first I’d like that we find an agreement about what would be best for XWiki since
maybe there’s something we need to do on our side to clear any confusion.
Thanks
