Description

Feature summary:
Provide the facility for a mobile web user who uses search to discover that no article exists on a topic to move forwardinto creating that article, as is already available to Desktop users.

Use case(s):
On Desktop, a standard way to initiate a new article creation is by searching for the missing title, as is invited immediately under the search result:

The equivalent search on Mobile Web provides no such article creation facility:

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
Enhancing the mobile web search response screen to provide an article creation link and advice would help towards functionality equivalence for MediaWiki on desktop and mobile web.
