Both the image placeholder and the section headings are encouraging people to add images and sections for the sake of images and sections, rather than because they are necessary.

On the Yu-Gi-Oh! Wiki people are often using this to create articles for groups of cards. They see that two sections are "needed", so they create sections for combos in the card game that they've come up with, involving the cards, which is quite annoying when our mainspace isn't for individual users original ideas.

Irrevant sections can be avoided, by presetting the section names, but that can't be done with just one standard layout. e.g. if there was a "character layout", "Personality" and "Biography" could be used as section names.

The feature does have potential, if we were given more than one layout. Tables and infoboxes are what new users typically have problems with. If they could specifiy what type of page they want to create, those could be preloaded.
