Maybe I'm missing something, but what about the MediaWiki page creation process isn't "find a page, click edit, and just type into it"?
Sure, that's easy enough to explain: page creation suggests that the page does not yet exist. So you'll never get past the "find a page" step. ;-)
Ori correctly said "make or find a page." The problem is that the page creation process is completely unintuitive. The general bug is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27311#c0, if you're interested.
Tangential to the unintuitive page creation process is the editor itself, which surely we can all agree is difficult, if not impossible, for many, many users to use.
Once you know how MediaWiki works, it's pretty easy to create or edit a page, of course. But getting to that point can be painfully difficult.
