It is not really possible to protect a page from being created, but one can create a page with a standard text such as in [[w:en:Template:Deletedpage]] and [[Help:Editing#Page_protection|protect]] that page. Note that sometimes a terminology like "This page should not be created." is used even though for the system the page exists. Therefore it is not suitable for demonstrating a link to a non-existing page. |

Protecting a page from being created
[edit]It is not really possible to protect a page from being created, but one can create a page with a standard text such as in w:en:Template:Deletedpage and protect that page. Note that sometimes a terminology like "This page should not be created." is used even though for the system the page exists. Therefore it is not suitable for demonstrating a link to a non-existing page.
Pages are create-protected all the time; I was actually looking for somewhere to ask if the create protect bans on articles are ever lifted. Daniel Christensen (talk) 18:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- That section was correct at one time...but that was a long time ago - I've updated it now. If you would like to get the create protection lifted on a page, you can bring it up either with the protecting admin or at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 01:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
