I agree with this.  I sent the following message to Pm and
unintentionally didn't CC the list.

I agree with Scott.  It's definitely a form.  Is it a box?

It certainly is a monster of a button.  It doesn't match the search
form/box at the top of the PmWiki skin pages, nor does it look like
the (:searchbox:) form that is on Main/SearchWiki.

It seem like something such as

  [______________] (Create Page)

would be more "generic" and thus easier to work into wiki pages
because you can precede it with some text.
