By default, whenever PmWiki detects that a pagename has been specified in its non-canonical form (e.g., as "Test me" instead of "TestMe"), it issues a redirect to get the browser to reload the page with the canonical form of the name. The primary reason for this is to prevent browsers and search engines from bookmarking the wrong form of the name. However, the redirect also means that any ?action= or other parameters get lost in the process. PmWiki doesn't really non-standard pagenames to appear in urls with ?action= or other parameters attached. The redirect behavior can be suppressed by setting $EnableFixedUrlRedirect = 0; This setting tells PmWiki to accept whatever pagename it receives (as long as it resolves properly) and not try to correct the url with a redirect. For the application described here (creating a page from a form), you might want to do this as $EnableFixedUrlRedirect = ($action != 'edit'); which leaves the redirect in place for all actions except edit.
