Hi Bill,
I'm a bit confused. Wikipedia --
perhaps the biggest Wiki out there -- does not have a Create
New Page button.
I'm not opposed to adding such a
feature, but it does seem to go against the MediaWiki software
that we (and Wikipedia) use. If you're interested in such a
feature, please file a bug in Eclipse Bugzilla (in the Eclipse
Foundation > Community > Wiki component) and if it gains
popularity and votes, we can look into it.

Hi Bill,
There is already an input box, it's your browser address bar. :)
That's far, far, far too subtle.
I don't think it's getting any easier than typing
"https://wiki.eclipse.org/My new page" to open a wiki page with the
title "My new page" and clicking on the "create" button on the right.
But you have to know to do that first!
Really, I spent days trying to find the "create new page" button that
exists in all the other wikis I've used. I assumed I didn't have permission
to create new pages.
Installing the InputBox extension does not seem to add justifiable value.
I disagree completely!
This is one of those cases where once you know how to do it it seems obvious
but before you know how to do it it's completely obscure.
The missing notifications for approved pages is a limitation of the Wiki
extension: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Moderation. So there
is not much we can do about it.
Well, I suppose we could ask the mediawiki people to add it, but it doesn't
seem likely that that will happen soon, if at all.
