--- Comment #9 from MZMcBride <[email protected]> --- (In reply to comment #8) > Rough estimate of work involved: very high. Well, sure, it's possible to make any project overly complicated. Sometimes there's a distinct advantage to doing so. In this case, however, I don't think it's a particularly involved project. > https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Article_creation_workflow Most of this isn't really relevant here. Again, yes, it's certainly possible to set up user tests and queues and solicit user feedback via large smiley faces and do all kinds of craziness, but that isn't what's being requested here. If the Wikimedia Foundation wants to pursue all of that, that's its prerogative, of course. For MediaWiki core, it isn't unreasonable to assume that there be a Special:CreatePage interface that accepts a title input and a textarea input. There are a few complicating details, as Daniel mentioned in comment 6, but even those are mostly trivially solvable. You can either ask for a title before getting started or you can simply provide a warning-free textarea (and only warn post-attempted save). I envision something like Special:CreatePage with a title and textarea, a second "Review your new page" page (with suggestions like adding wikilinks to build the web, and a final submission page. Honestly, there's little that could be done to make the page creation process worse than it already is. Nearly anything would be an improvement. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
