Anything that lowers the barrier of posting to Fanlore is a good thing in my opinion. =) As you said, if someone wants to create a stub, they will do it no matter what. This way there is actually some overall structure in the code. (And I do think that a stub is more inviting to add content than a non-existent page.)
Speaking as someone who simply doesn't want to invest heaps of time in looking up Wiki codes and text templates over and over again, because I simply can't remember them, a premade graphical template where I don't have to look for appropriate places inbetween the code to put my information, is quite perfect. I wish, more UIs like this could be done for Fanlore as working with pure code is a pretty certain death of motivation for a lot of people, who just wanted to share some of their fandom love quickly.
On a side note (and I hope this is an appropriate place to discuss it), I just took a quick peek at the DJ page and category on FL and I wonder, if we could organize it a bit better. Currently we have the doujinshi page, a DJ category, a few DJ subcategories and many single pages. But, for example, the subcategories are missing some fandoms which are already represented with DJ examples on FL, like Harry Potter. I'm not sure, if it wouldn't be better to create a "list of doujinshi fandoms" page to provide a better index/overview. This page could then link to the individual lists for fandoms. Perhaps I'll tackle the DJ page and sort out the mix-up of circles and DJ fandoms. Hm... (See, that template of yours already motivated me to work on FL again! \o/)
