Re: [Semediawiki-user] not all magic words get parsed right in one-step form using {{{field||....|default={{PAGENAME}}|....}}}

Albert, 
In that case there should be no problem and you can use the form the way you have designed it.
If the pagename already exists you shouldn't have that strange name as default, but indeed the pagename.
