Today, as an experiment, we will be turning off new pages creation for anonymous users in the English Wikipedia.
Does this apply to all pages, or just articles? It seems that IPs should still be able to create talk pages, both for articles and for users.

Talk pages are separately controlled, and anons can indeed still create them.
I've gone ahead and turned on the restriction mode, per Jimmy's order. Notes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Anon_pag...
