Hoi, In the blogging I have done on this subject, I included screen shots of the CreatePage extension. One screen shot shows the extension without a change to the skin, the other shows the same extension on a UNICEF wiki. The screen shot was created while we were testing it on one of the ExtensionTestinghttp://extensiontesting.wikiation.nl/environments. This environment has now been scratched because we moved on with the testing to other extensions.
What the UNIWIKI clearly shows, it that the CreatePage extension is used in combination with templates for an article of a specific type. This would urge users to include predefined headings and categories. This would be a boon to newbie editors and it would be a gentle way to urge a start with a more complete structure. In this way we might even get less stubs as a connsequence of implementing this functionality.
Marcus, you are probably right. As you are obviously getting your mind around this issue, you are in a great position to do exactly what you propose. Thanks, GerardM

Gerard, it would be good, if you could add links to all the extension pages in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Uniwiki, which point to pages which use those extensions. There are links to two pages who use the Uniwiki package, but I was not able to find live examples of most of the single extensions. Where can I find CreatePage live in action, or 'Generic Edit Page' or Layouts? Screenshots on the single extension pages would be good too.
