How do you enable MediaWiki's "native protection of nonexistent pages"

I've searched meta and
mediawiki.org but can't seem to find the
instructions.
I thought it might involve the page MediaWiki:Titleblacklist, but when I
add entries, they don't seem to have an effect (1.13 alpha). Also
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Special_page#Protected seems to imply
this system message is just an alternate method.
Thanks!

You don't need to do anything to enable MediaWiki's native protection of
nonexistent pages: Protect them in the same manner you would protect an
existing page (index.php?title=foo&action=protect, or do it the slow way and
search for the page, click to create it when prompted, and then select the
"protect" tab).
