Thanks for the quick responses, but they don't quite solve my problem.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my original post.
I don't know the original page ID, and since it wasn't actually saved
as a page in the wiki, the index doesn't list it. I therefore don't
know how to access the page...therein lies the problem. I actually was
aware that accessing the page would let me recover the draft.
I did some digging in the code to see how Dokuwiki handles draft
files. It looks as though it saves a file with a ".draft" extension in
the cache directory. I checked my cache directory and found two such
files (not a lot of activity on our wiki). These files appear to have
names generated from some sort of hash of the page name. Is that
correct?
I've located the file that I believe is the page I'm looking for by
examining the contents. Would it be easiest to recreate my page by
copying the contents into a newly created page?
If I can get the contents that way, then I have no more need of the
original file, but I'm curious if there is anyway to recover the old
page name from the existing draft files. If my previous observation
about the hashed file name is correct, then I'm in doubt of being able
to do so.
This experience has given me an idea for a plugin... perhaps it would
be nice to be able to view a list of all pages that currently have
drafts. Any thoughts on that?
