Wikimedia Bugzilla is closed!

Since the last bugzilla upgrade for us I've been impressed by the "Enter a new bug" interface. The seach and suggest interface behind it is better than BugZilla's "real" search function (so much that I sometimes use it as search :D ).

Anyway, back to MediaWiki, we kindof have it reversed. Our search front-end (not talking about the backend) is pretty cool, but there really is no dedicated way to "create" a new page or article.

So I was thinking a way to create a new article (be it Special:NewArticle, or action=create (implied on action=edit for inexisting pages / from redlinks).

That would start with a title input field, which functions like a search bar (to avoid duplicates) that searches through the main namespace.

Below that would be the editor etc. like an edit page.
