I was wondering - why not link to this tool in the instructions text for new articles?
What instruction text for new articles, exactly? You're welcome to add it yourself, as is anyone.
Or do you mean the "this page doesn't exist. click here to create it" type text?
As this is exactly
what commons articles/categories *should* contain, it might be a huge help.
Well, I have encountered some opposition to the idea that an article with six pictures should have 30 different language introductions. :)
For proper nouns (people & places, mostly), I tend to feel only different scripts are necessary. eg for the Australian city 'Melbourne', there would be at least 40 different articles on it, but 28 of those articles are at exactly "Melbourne". Although if we ever want to supply better quality lang support, it would be best to supply all. Hm. Perhaps better 'hiding' would be better, less annoying at least...
