Is it possible to define default text when a user clicks "edit" on a page that doesn't exist? I was looking at templates but that doesn't appear to be quite what I want in that the user has to know the template exists and specify it. Any ideas?

Search the extensions and you should come up with some that fit the bill. (PageCreate?)
Please let me know which one you end up using :D

I ended up using boiler plate but for some reason when I combine it with a captcha it breaks. When clicking save, the captcha page comes up with the boilerplate every time, regardless of what the page was.

Look at extensions 'Boilerplate' which uses a single boilerplate template for all new pages or my extension to that called 'BoilerplateSelection' which allows you to create different boilerplate templates which are used determined by the title of the article being created.
