Being kind to new users is a Good Thing (TM), but that's no reason to be nasty
to old users.

Many of the *Wiktionaries* rely on this way of working to simplify the process
of adding new content that adheres to a standard.  The difference between Go
and Search is not only well understood, but relied upon and used to improve
users' experience of adding content.  If you don't like it that's fine, but why
force your opinions on well-established projects?

There is one perfectly good reason why a person using Go should be offered the
option of creating and article and that's because it's been done that way and
that's what older users and help pages will recommend!  Maybe it makes no sense
for a Wikipedia, but it certainly does for a Wiktionary.

Lastly, Robert it's really none of your business what text any project puts on
that page or how much room it takes up.  That has *nothing* to do with
MediaWiki and is rightly a matter for the individual projects to decide.
