Create placeholder links for new pages
Topic: create a slot for a new page that you will navigate to, edit and save at a later point.
How To Do It:
1. Enter wiki word text in a page that you are now editing. Then, Save that page.
2. Once saved, the placeholder link will be highlighted in red. Click the link.
3. JotSpot brings you to the newly created page. Once you have saved its content, this page becomes a first-class citizen of your wiki (just another page) alongside all other pages.
Tell Me More
Placeholder links allow you to keep writing, planning and collaborating without breaking the flow of your work. Use them when realize you will need a separate 'chunk' of new content but are not ready to create that content yet.
You can always edit out (delete) a placeholder link in a fresh version of the page where it appeared. The page to which the placeholder title links will only be created permanently after it has been saved with its own content.

I've been looking for this type of service for years. I'm so glad to be a jotuser. Nick from www.f9group.com... Now I'm off to figure out how to use forms...

It seems strange that JotSpot tries to create a link every time I type FedEx or PowerPoint? or HarperCollins? or ExxonMobil? or...
Of course, I can click on the Toggle WikiWord icon (although it doesn't sem to work the first time) or use Control-W (also, I seem to have to try it a couple of times before it kicks in, at least in my browser, on my system).
I think most of us type words like FedEx far more often than we create new pages. If you're going to have an extra icon on the toolbar, It might as well be "Create New Wiki Page" instead of "Toggle WikiWord?".
Please reconsider this "feature". if you are enthusiastic about the WikiWord? concept, perhaps you might become less so if you observe the behavior or typical users (not "friendlies", your spouse, or others who are more sensitive to your feelings than to workplace productivity needs).
