Protecting a page from being created

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)[reply]
