Forum:Special page CreateBlogPost has disappeared. What is being implemented to replace it.

I went to update my News feature that uses bloglist to create a "newspaper" based on the Category News. When I clicked on the link I use to add a news article, I received an error message: No such special page.

So, how do we create blogs without necessarily going to our Blog pages? Myk Streja (wall) 15:08, January 7, 2021 (UTC)

Edit: I checked and this seems to affect wikis updated to UCP, not just the one I sysop on. 15:30, January 7, 2021 (UTC)

 * The page Special:CreateBlogPage which is used on legacy wikis to create new blogs does not exist on UCP wikis. I have not heard/read anything from staff indicating the intent to create a replacement. However blog pages can still be created by either creating a page with the appropriate title (ex. User_blog:Myk_Streja/BlogName) or using the "Create Blog Post" button on your blog list page (User_blog:Myk_Streja).


 * I don't think it'll be brought back, but yeah as Andrew said, the best way to do it now is to go through the Blog link on your User page. 22:46, January 7, 2021 (UTC)


 * Well, not really the best way since it is now the only way'. This is disappointing. I am not the only one to use the blog system to create a news feed that users could add to without leaving the page. Looks like it's time for a work-around. Myk Streja (wall) 00:26, January 8, 2021 (UTC)

 * This isn't the first time someone has come to Community Central asking about this. Perhaps you should submit a ticket and suggest that they restore/replace the special page.
