For eons people have complained that "Put the text of the new page here." is extremely unhelpful and promotes confusion among newbies to wiki; that it discourages people from doing anything further with the site as they don't know what they've stumbled into; and that it encourages a lot of useless blank, "Put the text of the new page here", and "What does this do? FJSDIOJDFS" pages. Longer, more informative messages have been suggested.
I've changed the code so that the text is autoselected via JavaScript. This should eliminate the need for a user option.
