Hey,
while evaluating Automad and doing our first steps, we stumbled on something that felt like a bug:
We deleted all pages from the installation and then wanted to create a first page from the web backend/admin page.
But we were unable to do so, since it was not possible to not have a parent page/position for the new page.
We solved it by creating a first page as a text file in the pages folder manually, but I thought I should mention it, since we were a bit confused at first.
Cheers,
Tom
