I'm looking for a quick and easy way of helping a user to create a new page. Either through a sidebar link or a page that could contain a box to write in the title.
I found the NewPage extension but currently it's not available. Does anyone know of any other extensions that could achieve this?

On our MW 1.13 intranet, we use Extension:InputBox - it's WMF-maintained (and used on Wikinews), so is quite stable.
This is the code at the top of the main page:
<center> {|width="50%" |align=center|'''Create a new page on this wiki''' <inputbox> type=create default=Type the name of your new page here! buttonlabel=Create my new page bgcolor=#CCCCFF </inputbox> |}</center>
I did take care to create an article called "Type the name of your new page here!", and it's been trashed a few times ...
