Same id

Two pages have the same id:. A page’s id is its permanent identity: it stays the same when the page’s title or address changes. The message points at the second, and shows where the first was written.

What you’ll see

error  Same id: two pages have the id `k3m9x2`
  Give each page its own id.

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac stops

An id names one page. With two pages giving the same one, anything that follows a page by its id, such as a feed reader, would take one page for the other.

How to fix it

Give each page its own id. A page made from an item in data/ takes the item’s id:, so look there too.

Example

data/people.yaml:

- name: Person 1
  id: k3m9x2
- name: Person 2
  id: k3m9x2

Give the second its own:

- name: Person 1
  id: k3m9x2
- name: Person 2
  id: p7q2r8

Its name

Name	same-id
In the terminal	statac explain same-id
