Description

While using Wikitools, I noticed that this module should add the Custom Path as a default value in the 'Add Page' form. The attached patch should be applied to version Wikitools-6.x-1.1.

I done two simple things, that should be validated by code owners: I created the wikitools_get_page_name() function with wikitools_handle_request() excerpt, that returns the page name and the subpage values, and then used this function in wikitools_form_alter() to include the wikitools Custom Path as a default value.

By adding the Custom Path as a default value, it would improve the Wikitools usability a lot, as the user does not need to include this value by hand for every page added.

Thank you for sharing this patch. Unfortunately, it will cause problems if the path module is not enabled. I'm also not altogether convinced that this is a good change, as many sites may have pathauto set up to set the path automatically (possibly to something different from the wikitools path.
