Wiki pages list (/wikis/pages): "New page" button missing for Group wikis but present for Project wikis
Summary
On the /wikis/pages list page, Project wikis display a "New page" button, allowing users to create a new wiki page directly from the pages list. However, this button is absent for Group wikis.
To create a new page in a Group wiki, a user must:
- Navigate into an existing wiki page
- Open the dropdown in the top right
- Select New page
This is an inconsistent experience between Project and Group wikis, and the workaround is non-obvious — particularly for users who are not yet familiar with the wiki interface.
Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to a Project wiki's pages list (
/wikis/pages) - Navigate to a Group wiki's pages list (
/wikis/pages)
Impact
- Users of Group wikis have no direct way to create a new page from the pages list, unlike Project wiki users
- The workaround (entering an existing page → top-right dropdown → New page) is unintuitive and easy to miss
- This inconsistency may cause confusion, especially for users who switch between Project and Group wikis
Questions for consideration
- Should the "New page" button be added to the Group wiki
/wikis/pagespage for consistency with Project wikis? - Is the absence of this button for Group wikis intentional? If so, what is the rationale?
Implementation considerations
- This appears to be primarily a frontend change — adding the "New page" button to the Group wiki pages list, mirroring the existing behaviour for Project wikis
