Simplify Wiki Page creation ("Add Page" link)

Description
One of the biggest hurdles to Wiki productivity as I see it is having to edit a wiki page before you can add a page. Since there are macros for ToC and Children and often the start page contains theses macros it is redundant to manually create a page link, so you can add the page, then delete the link straight after since it is then listed in the macro output.
I suggest:
- A simple Add page function, next to "Edit"
- The ability to chose the Parent (i.e. dropdown, recent pages, search for parent) at Page creation time
Users here always complain about that.
They always ask me: "Why I can not add a new page by simply hit a "New Page" button??"
It's really too strange to add a page by editing in the address bar or by a link in an other page.
I hope this will receive some attention..

Specifically I think sub-page creation is somewhat cumbersome currently. Having the ability to choose the parent page when creating/editing would be helpful.

Here's one idea about how to do it: create a macro in redmine {{add_child_page}} that can
be embedded in the sidebar wiki page. (When 1.0 comes out). See #2010
This macro will be expanded to a link with an onclick handler that
prompts the user to input a page name and press OK or Cancel.
Initially just use the javascript prompt() method (we'll worry about
sexiness and degradability later).
Once a name is given ("views_new_subpage"), it should redirect to a
URL like https://rm.ewdev.ca/projects/drupal/wiki/my_new_subpage?parent_page=Views
That form could look the same as currently, but behind the scenes do
the renaming action.

This can be a problem to me (and my users) not using Textile. Macros don't work.
I'm using CKEditor thanks to a plugin by Akihiro Ono (see http://www.redmine.org/issues/617#note-34).
But I'm not so sure anyway... can CKEditor work with macros?
- Priority changed from High to Normal
Any updates on this? It would be nice to have a button and also to be able to set parent/child page during edit/creation.
This plugin has an issue. When the project is closed - it produces Internal error 500!
While, it is true that many things should be done by plugins only - and if there are issues/bugs with plugins that also can be solved. However, an easy create link should rather be better done in the core!
- Target version set to Candidate for next major release
This is a major usability issue. I'm a senior programmer and I had to turn to google to figure out how to add a page?
Please, give this the attention it deserves.
