Comment:

 Hello @zenithcity thank you for the feedback, unfortunately I don't see
 this change as feasible so am going to mark for closure but leave for a
 2nd opinion before closing out as `wontfix`.

 A few reasons the existing workflow is how it is and why it probably won't
 change;
 1. The new Privacy Policy page gets pre-populated with content from the
 Privacy Policy Guide. Pre-population requires the page already exists (is
 created).
 2. The new page gets set as the sites current Privacy Policy page. For a
 page to be selected as the Privacy Policy page it must first exist (be
 created).

 It is these additional process steps which lead us to the edit page
 instead of the create as they require the page existing.

 If you prefer to manually create your pages you definitely can, you would
 just need to handle populating the page as well as assigning it as the
 Privacy Policy page in the Privacy settings.

 Hopefully that makes sense, I really don't see a way to redirect to the
 create screen instead of the edit screen without disabling the two above
 mentioned processes. And there isn't much additional benefit of going that
 way either since you can edit the title and everything else from the edit
 screen anyway.
