Can we add Multiple Site Pages libraries to have different permissions when creating modern site pages

Question

We want to build a wiki-like site for our company where the info will be added inside modern pages, and we need each department to manage its own modern pages. To do so i added different document libraries then i added custom content types which inherit from the built-in Site Pages content type.

but this did not work, for example inside the HR Document library, i want to create a new modern page >>but when i click on "HR Site Page" content type which has the "Site Pages" content type as its parent:-

I will be redistricted to a blank page, as follow:-

so not sure how we can have multiple site pages libraries to store modern pages? since we want each library to have different permission settings (mainly different set of permissions for each department)?

Thanks

I have done a test in the SharePoint online and I can reproduce your issue.

We are unable to create site pages in document library even with the site page content type added. We must need to create site pages in site pages library.

The site pages library is a special library type in modern sites. It cannot be duplicated at this time. The current recommended way is to create more folders in the site pages library for each department to manage their own modern pages.
