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]

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)[reply]

Font question

I just have a font question. Somehow yesterday when I use doing my research the font in the text changed, it is now huge, and I can't figure out how to reset it. I didn't change anything. it so big now I can't focus on the pages. I turned everything off, started over this morning and it's still huge. I know this isn't an article question, but I need help —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.78.245 (talk) 13:15, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide a link to the article and/or the edit that caused the change? --Philosopher Let us reason together. 01:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
