For the lazy folks I released the extension
autoarticle moments ago. The extension automatically creates an article in every new page created and thus reduces work by at least some clicks. In huge pages - more clicks
You can change the article afterwards if needed, use the teaser functions or edit meta information, the extension only helps speed up the base structure.
Please note: after installation the extension has to be activeted in the settings, most work can be saved if you also auto-publish the new article. For better release management you can still leave the page unpublished till you're ready.
