I don't think this is the time or the place to second-guess the way the
proposal was closed by an experienced admin.  Note that over 500 editors
participated, and the closing admin notes that "In this broadly attended
discussion, more than two-thirds of those expressing a clear 'support' or
'oppose' opinion supported the proposal to limit article creation to
autoconfirmed editors, either as a trial or on a permanent basis."  No one has
disputed the way this proposal was closed (and bugzilla is certainly not the
place to do so).  There is very strong consensus for this trial.

As for a software version of an article creation wizard, that's a great idea
but completely unrelated to this trial; linking the two is unnecessary and
inappropriate.  

While this is a serious step, keep in mind it is only a trial.  The trial will
last for 6 months, and then this change will be reversed for 30 days while a
discussion ensues on whether to make the changes permanent or to abandon the
idea.

Many editors have planned and worked for months to organize, propose and
implement this change.  I (and they) would be highly disappointed if it got
hijacked on bugzilla, at the very last step of implementation.
