Subject: Can't recreate deleted pages on the wiki

Content:

If a page was deleted, trying to create that page again will treat you to a nasty error message. For example, take a look at http://enquirer.improbableisland.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=playground:this_no_longer_works, a page I created and then deleted. Try to Create this page. Doesn't work.

This bug is recent. Not sure when. Probably from the last time CMJ modified the wiki-- the server move, I suppose. I remember being able to create deleted pages in the past. Or, actually, I don't specifically remember doing any such thing, but uh... I don't remember it NOT working, and I've found evidence in the fossil record that such a thing was possible. (Based on the records in http://enquirer.improbableisland.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?do=revisions&id=syntax, I think I deleted that page in 2012 and then Clueless remade it in 2015.)

In other news, on a whim I tired creating http://enquirer.improbableisland.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:syntax and http://enquirer.improbableisland.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=playground:playground, the two red links that taunt the user on the edit page. Surprisingly, it worked this time! Enjoy your new pages, my friends!
