Directly create page without preview

In my wiki people create category pages with the input box and some preloaded content. Clicking on the "Create Page" requires my users to save the previewed page. As they do not have to change anything in the new page's content, this is annoying and many of my users don't really get what is going on. Is there any way to skip the preview step and automatically generate the page with the given name and preloaded content?

There is not a way to do that, using this extension. However you could use the "editintro=" parameter to add a high-visibility message at the top (for example, using "template:welcome" as the editintro value).

Thanks for your reply. Yes I already use the editintro=, but still some of my users get confused. Are you aware of any other extension or workaround which may help?

Nothing that I know of, I'm afraid.
