We get a lot of junk new pages that say:
"Put your text for the new page here. Hello" or "Put your text for the new page here. Er, I don't know" or "Put your text for the new page here. What does this do"
These, to me, don't seem to be vandalism -- rather, someone who doesn't yet know how a Wiki works has clicked a ghost link, is a little confused when faced with a form and instead of just closing their browser window they feel they must *do* something.
Could we make the text that appears in a new page form more helpful? eg:
"This article does not yet exist in Wikipedia. You can begin writing a new article here, or just close the browser window" etc etc.
This might prevent a few junk entries, and save on housekeeping time. :)
