What is the URL for New Page in Azure DevOps Wiki? / How to bookmark New Page?

Question

Is there a URL for New Page in Azure DevOps Wiki?

Specifically one where I can specify the path that it will create the new page in.

I know that if you wanted to bookmark the link to view a specific page you'd usually need to know the page ID, E.G. 22 in this link:

https://dev.azure.com/incredibleit/Incredible%20IT/_wiki/wikis/Incredible-IT.wiki/22/Backups-Restores

However there is a "secret link" you can use to specify the path instead, when the page ID is unknown:

https://dev.azure.com/incredibleit/Incredible%20IT/_wiki/wikis/Incredible-IT.wiki?pagePath=/Home/Technical/Important/Backups%20%26%20Restores

And to edit a page at a specified path it's:

https://dev.azure.com/incredibleit/Incredible%20IT/_wiki/wikis/Incredible-IT.wiki?wikiVersion=GBwikiMaster&_a=edit&pagePath=/Home/Technical/Important/Backups%20%26%20Restores

I tried modifying that last URL from &_a=edit to &_a=new and &a_=add but neither worked.

How can I link to New Page / New Subpage for a specified path?

When I click New Page from within DevOps Wiki, the URL in the address bar does not change.

This is for a larger project that automatically builds Sphinx Docs (python-sphinx) from an Azure DevOps Wiki. I'd like the ability to have a New button in Sphinx. Currently I've managed to add "View on Wiki" and "Edit on Wiki" buttons to each page, along with a few more that are not Wiki-related - and I'm looking to add "New page" to it... but essentially my question boils down: what is the URL for New page at a specified path?

Here's what each page looks like in Sphinx:

I checked the event listeners on the New Page button in DevOps Wiki but from what I saw it links to an empty function called we()

If you're interested: I'm using docker to auto-build Sphinx from the Wiki each time an edit is made, and the HTML of each page gets customised by some python scripts I've written, largely using beautifulsoup.

Unlike view and edit for an existing Wiki page, when you create a new Wiki page, there is no such URL which contains something like &_a=add in the browser.

To create a DevOps Wiki page by script, we can use the REST API or Azure CLI. Both have path and content parameters required.

I'm afraid it's not supported to use a URL link with a path only, to create a new Wiki page.
