          Description

          When creating a wiki the default value for "First page name" is "First page name". It should be blank and force the user to enter in a page name value, because if someone is not paying attention they will create a new wiki with a useless first page name and cannot change it.

          The request to change the first page name is in MDL-6488, but until that is implemented, it is better to prevent someone from ending up with a horrible default name.

              If this were to be changed, then the first page title would need to become a required field.

              The first page title is already a required field.

              Yes, you're right, Rex. I should have checked that.

              Thanks for patch, Rex.

              IMO, rather then setting value to empty string, it should not be set. Also, this being an enhancement can only go in master.

              FYI:
              Adding docs_required label again, as default value will not be visible if this gets integrated.

              Thanks Raj, i've integrated this now. Note that there are some linked issues which should probably be cleaned up.
