1. this topic is called 'Template'
2. It has screen elements that should not be visible, such a breadcrumb and Create and Attach buttons at the top, and a topic actions toolbar at the bottom
3. These elements can not be removed because a skin cannot override the default implementation. View.pm just calls Foswiki::UI::readTemplateTopic( $session, 'WebTopicViewTemplate' )

• finally removed the preposterous assumption that the topic "This topic does not exist yet" is an edit template, thereby totally misguiding users in TemplateTopics
• trashed the stupid tandem WebTopicViewTemplate and WebTopicNonWikiTemplate
• created a real view template TopicDoesNotExistViewTemplate that is actually called as a view template
• shuffled all parts on the page with shorter and logical headings
• moved the "topic moved" message to the top
• added the topic creation form in the page itself so one step less is required to create a topic
