I'd like to use MediaWiki as a storage for some kind of items, which doesn't have "natural" titles (just like bugs in Bugzilla). So I'd like to allow user to create new article without specifying the title and I want the system to generate the unique title by itself. [snip]
The way I'd do this is for one namespace, disable all new page creations. Then create a new special page that acts as a new page interface sans the title requirement. When it gets submitted, the database assigns it a title (using a counter table to determine which ID to use) and creates a new page normally. It sounds doable, although it will probably require some hackery in EditPage.php.
