| − | ==Protecting a page from being created==
| + | {{Help}} |
| − | 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.
