They were placed in front of a opened wiki and got told to create an 
article, start a new page (I guess, it was _not_ the English wikipedia, 
if you assumed that, but more likely a UNICEF wiki). They didn't manage 
to create a page, cause they were not able to find the right place to 
place their article. And that was the very straightforwardly reason to 
create the CreatePage extension, I guess.
