I'd like to be able to enter tags and a parent when creating or editing a page. On two of my sites, almost every new page has associated tags, and many pages have a parent. The current process results in most pages having multiple revisions by default—one for the tags and one for the parent.
This would probably work best as a site-level option so that people who don't want it (or don't use tags and/or parents) would not have to have it.
Apologies if this has already been suggested; a search turned up no matches.
This can be done already with the Extended New Page module at http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:newpage and the Extended New Page Button module at http://snippets.wikidot.com/code:newpage-button. These allow you to set the category, parent page and tags and other attributes in a single process while creating the page. I use them extensively and they are very good.

No, neither the NewPage module nor the extended one do this. They let you hard-code the parent/tags, but not specify them with the rest of the page content.
It would help if the NewPage module had directives that added entry fields for the parent and/or tags.

I am thinking of the pagepath to automate this…
Why the pagepath…
Well normally the parents of a page from a certain category will probably ALL belong themselfs to mostly just ONE category.
Now a pagepath is defined by a category (I also wished by a depth (how many visible levels)) AND it is a dynamic field… If a new page is created… the next time you open that form… that page will be in the selection box.
So do you agree that in most cases a parent can be chosen from only one category? If so than I could make a script so that the parent can be selected inside a dataform via a pagepath entery.
