Permalinks are appended a “-2” when title is empty

    Hi,

    I’ve set up my permalinks as “Postname” option. In other words https://site.com/%postname%/ and that works perfectly.
    However, I also want to support posts without titles. So I had the impression that WP defaults to post ID’s, right?

    So a new post should have a permalink of for example: https://site.com/1000

    However, instead of that url, the new title-less posts are appended a “-2” to them. So actual urls are https://site.com/1000-2

    I’ve tried disabling all plugins, clearing up Cloudflare’s cache, re-saving my permalinks and of course editing that particular permalink by hand, as well ass creating new posts.

    Also, I could reproduce this in two other fairly barebone WP instances, both on a server and running Local. So this might either be something I’m not familiar with or maybe a bug?

    WP version: 5.5.1

    Thanks for your help!

    PS: If this is really a bug I’d like to start contributing, at least with bug reporting, so let me know if you could reproduce and I’ll try to submit it.
