So my question, in all its glory to this list is, is there a way to at the very least pre-laod content into the "create new page" page so that a blank template could be already in the face of the user, all that he/she would need to do is to fill the blanks?
You have a few options.
1. Install the InputBox extension and use its preload parameters. 2. Ask users to create pages via an edit link with the preload parameter set. 3. Hook the edit form and preload content into the textbox.
For an example of #3, see the Preloader extension in Subversion, at http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/Preloader. You'll need to patch includes/EditForm.php to add a new hook (see the readme file).
