Why not
set up a system where each article proposed for creation
exists as a separate page. And there could be a special page set up
which points to each of them. This special page could list the date
and time created, the name of the proposed page, the number of bytes
of the page, and the username or IP address of the proposer.
Surely that would be equivalent to just letting unregistered users
create pages again and having a Special page that simply lists all
articles that have only ever been edited by IPs.
Yeah, that was my point.
Although, as I thought about it more, there would potentially be one
difference - "proposed" articles could live in a different namespace
(and have a warning at the top or whatever).
And then the actual real difference would be what? The warning? The
namespace prefix showing up in the article title? Both of those are
trivialities. They are still publicly-visible and -editable pages that
are primarily distinguished from others by means of that Special page
that lists them. Whether that Special page performs a complex query or
just lists a namespace, is irrelevant.
