But isn't that just a link? [[[page | Jump to page]]]

@mlo1, what is in your perception a "default page" ?
If I understand you right, you probably mean the view of a page that appears when the page did not exist before you went to this URL. So the process you are describing starts with two possible things:
For case 1 is a solution: make sure your link is well formed with at the end the "/edit/true" appendix… in this way your user will not need to click on the create this page - link but the edit mode of that page will be active even if the page did not exist before…
Click to create this nonexisting page (BTW this only works once, unless you make the category of the site autonumbering)
For case 2 is no solution yet I think. As far as I know, you can not format the "create new page"-page.

Its easiest to show you what I meant: Take a look at a page, say, http://fancyclopedia.wikidot.com/redd-boggs, and look at the box on the lower right, just above "Add a page". I would like to see a box just like that with the different behavior that when you press type text and hit Enter (a) if the text entered into the box is an existing page you are taken to it and (b) if it isn't an existing page, you get a dialog asking if you wish to create it.
What you want:
What currently happens:
i.e. you want the reverse of current behaviour?

Reply to leiger. Yes, pretty much. (Just to be clear: I'm not asking for the behavior of the current box to be changed, but a new kind of box one to be added.)
Ah I see what you want, sorry I misunderstood earlier. Well you can already do it using James' Extended Newpage Module:
[[include :snippets:newpage
|parent=support:pages
|category=support
|edit=false
|text=Enter page to add or jump to..
]]
The edit=false is required so that if the page already exists you will jump to it but not go into edit mode.
So to try it out go to http://www.strathviewconsultants.co.uk/support:extended-new-page and in the box at the bottom of the page enter audio and you'll be taken to the existing page.
Enter physics and you'll be presented with the normal dialog to create a new page because it doesn't yet exist.

Yes, this works well, and thanks! I do have one question, though. The side-bar (which is where I want to put the box) is gray and the background of the box shows up gray, also making it too inconspicuous. The documentation for the newpage snippet seems to say that I can control the background color of the box, but nothing I tried worked.
How would I do that?
(It would be great if you could add more examples to your documentation — you don't need to have show every variation on each page, just giving one or two examples in each instance would, if ultimately done across the whole documentation provide pretty much everything somewhere or another.)
I've adjusted the backend code to make the background-color white, as I think that will generally be easier for people to work with.
As the code is used on the page inside an iframe it makes using normal CSS modules, or site-wide css, a bit harder. So with this change you won't need to make any changes as that has now been done.

Wow, that's quick service — Thanks!
