What happened to "Click the edit button to start this new page"?

Now empty pages are just empty.

It's kind of creepy.

First they came for "Describe This Trope Here," then they came for "Click the edit button to start this new page." Soon, instead of blank pages, TV Tropes will have black holes that actively suck readers into their inescapable mass and never let them go, no matter how hard they resist.

... wait.

^ Ah, good. I wasn't sure whether it was a bug or not, but it was leading some people to believe they were blanked pages instead of just redlinks.

possibly linked to what I saw with the empty page after editing? Maybe.

Not sure this is fixable (it may be intentional for the sake of easy maintenance), but nonexistent pages now sport the banner for launched pages "This page is not yet indexed. Please choose an index to put it on."

That used to be a sign of a blanked page, which often appear within search engine parameters. Just a comment.
