I fully share this view. I've been toying with the idea of an extension here
for some time. There is this new namespace, there is the new userright that
the community agreed upon, there are the common complaints that AfC templates
and scripts don't do this or that (and can't be modified as the wiki stands to
without creating an on-by-default gadget or adding code to MediaWiki:Common.js
or possibly by creating a guided tour (which is a fairly new option that was
introduced as I've been developing the extension)). There are a LOT of factors
that need to go into draft creation alone, not to mention I think (as I stated
in bug 57315) that I think requested articles could be rolled into articles for
creation and the whole process could be streamlined. I'm constantly seeing
stuff about editor retention and we need to do this and that and that is great,
but what I have a problem with is the fact that our current fairly difficult to
use system turns new editors away... Maybe stating the obvious, but if there
are fewer new editors, then there is a much smaller pool to work from for
retention.
