It's the "direct to existing site welcome page" that I have an issue with. Like
said above, if you take a look at the existing site welcome page
(MediaWiki:Welcomecreation-msg) where it is customized, it's often terrible. 

On our wikis many users are currently being redirected back to editable
articles. 10% of them (on enwiki, as an example) are even being redirected back
directly back to editing. Sending users back to their internal referrer is far
superior to these existing site welcome pages.
