Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):
provide a single possibility to create an account on the login page, and describe the benefits of doing so.
Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):
to find the benefits of creating an account is not obvious to find. click "create account" leads to a page which looks complicated, and does not describe why one should do so. on the log-in screen this is named "join wikipedia", differently. then there is a link text "help with log in" where the benefits of creating an account are stated. too many mental hurdles.
Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
- more space on top level for more frequently used links
- the benefits of creating an account can be described on the login page, there is a lot of empty space to do so (hide IP, connect with others, vote)
- create account is rare, and can be used from that page, properly guided.
