It is high time that we encourage the improvement of existing articles over adding new ones that
will need to be maintained. This effort helps to push us in that direction. I hope we will change
policy again if and when the negatives outweigh the benefits of letting new users create new
pages. New users and anons can’t upload since undoing that is something that only admins can do.
Creating new pages is also something that only admins can undo. Ergo
