Drupal permits giving permission to an ordinary site member to create and edit a page, but it does not appear anywhere because the user does not have access to the "Menu Settings" section. Only an Administrator or User No.1 seems to have access to this Menu Settings section, and until an Administrator gives the page a title and puts it into a menu, the page is lost in limbo even if it is published.
As User No.1 I look at:
Administer/Content management/content -
Then I edit the individual "page" , and this is where I see the "Menu Settings" section which allows me to list the page in a menu, making it's existence known and accessible.
Am I missing something?
How does an administrator know when a user has created a new page. On a mature site there is too much content for it to be noticed.
Thanks,
Paul

you can use views.module to list those pages. you can use nodequeue to set up queues to list the pages or you can use a moderation module like modr8
No Menu
Right. From what I can tell, at this time, there is no way to have those views appear in a menu. You can have that list of links appear in a block using views, but not in a menu. It seems the menuing system is it's own little island in many ways.
See this discussion with merlinofchaos, the crazy genius behind Views:

If anybody wants to try and raise funding to add this feature, I'll kick in $100.
