ReplyDeletenot at all this bug might be fixed now but it is/was real for sure.
ReplyDeleteIf you already admin a page with that name, this error message comes up: "It looks like you already manage a Page named (name of page). Please choose a different name or go to your current Page". But that should be easily sidestepped by using a different account to create the page then add the account as admin that's an admin of that other page.
ReplyDeleteYou just put a SPACE at the end of the page name or a fullstop and it bypasses the system
