Yes, that's exactly why I've focused on page-object creation in the extension I've developed. > > - maybe what would be "cool" would be to propose an alternate way of > creating wiki pages for this specific use-case.

It does not show on the screenshots I've provided, because I haven't added the small JS magic to implement it yet (I've first implemented the fallback when JavaScript is not available) - but that's my plan. The idea is to be able to create a new structured page without a page load.
