--- Comment #10 from Quim Gil <[email protected]> ---
This is an enhancement request for MediaWiki, not for Wikipedia.

The request is quite simple: a basic UI to create new articles. Yes, many
things can go wrong but just as many as typing the title of a new article in
the URL field of the browser or as link in an existing page, as people do
today.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Create_Page seemed to have this exact
aim. There is code developed by Jeroen and paid by the WMF that allegedly runs
on 1.18 and higher. It looks like a solution or at least a starting point.

As we can see from the URL pointed by Steven, the WMF is not interested in
developing a(nother) quick fix but, if anything, in having a whole study on the
article creation process. The MediaWiki maintainers haven't touched this
request in two years and thay keep having other priorities now.

For all these reasons it seems obvious that this is a WONTFIX as a MediaWiki
core feature. If a MediaWiki project needs this feature then CratePage is the
first place to look at.
