Just wondering why the Page Alias can't be specified when creating a new page. This was a problem when I tried entering the Title and Menu Text in Japanese. The auto-generated (?) Page Alias didn't work in the URL.
Just a minor inconvenience because I can easily go back into the edit page and change the alias, but it could be confusing for beginners.
Any reason why the Page Alias field can't be shown in the creation page?

It was meant to be less confusing, but maybe it's not. Anyway, there is a setting in config.php (auto_alias or something like that) that you can set to false and it will show up when creating a new page.

You could auto-generate it with a bit of javascript and perhaps hide it under Options. Then we get the benefit of it being auto-generated while at the same time having the option of editing it. And beginners will not see it unless they go to the options page.

Re: Page Alias?
So that's what auto_alias_content is for. Thanks for the tip, that solves the problem.
I agree that auto-generating it could be less confusing. It's just that it doesn't work when the user can enter non-ASCII characters. Maybe arl's suggestion of auto-generating but allowing the user to edit it could be a good compromise. I prefer it where it is now though, rather than under the Options tab, so that I can catch any weird characters immediately.
