Incomplete Create Lookup Wizard

The Create Lookup Wizard (Model Browser: Entity - Actions / Create Lookup) says in the first screen that it will create a Lookup only:

Lookup only is mentioned also in the third screen:

But the wizard should also mention the creation of a Data structure, as that is also created as visible from the last screen:

The initial screen of the wizard is useful only a limited number of times—at worst, just once—as beginners will quickly remember its contents. Beyond that, it only slows down the user.

Since making it configurable (e.g., ā€œDo not show againā€) would require disproportionate effort compared to my proposal, I suggest removing the initial screen entirely. The information should be accessible from the documentation instead.

For consistency, this change should apply to all similar wizards.

Additionally, to further improve efficiency, the final information message box (ā€œGenerated elements are shown in the search result tabā€) could also be removed for the same reason—it provides information that users will quickly learn and no longer need to see repeatedly.

The general content and structure of all wizards can be improved, I agree. We can create a new template/approach and then implement it to all existing wizards. From my perspective it is important, that all keep the same pattern…

This is off-topic. The wizard should be consistent and I consider the requirement valid from a UX point of view.

I don’t dispute the validity of the requirement, which is consistency. However, I suggest achieving it by removing the initial screens from all wizards, and I have provided reasoning for this approach.

I tried to improve english in various labels (see the pullrequest). It could be further improved but at least it is better now then it was before.

Tested and seems to be OK.
