A link to create a page when it doesn't exist is a good way to motivate users to create pages that doesn't exist yet and join the wiki. The current system doesn't provide that, so newbies quit from the wiki instead of having interest to create the page (which may not know (s)he even can create a page!). Even if that makes some users to create stub pages or nonsense, it gives the community an "alert" of what pages are demanded for creation, or a redirect is needed on that page. Wikia's system fails for that.
