Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Anonymous page creation
According to User:Tim Starling, a Wikimedia Foundation developer, there would need to be a consensus for anon page creation to be turned back on on the English Wikipedia. This page allows comments to be added, and the community can assess whether this is a viable idea and the conditions under which it would occur.

I can see no harm in turning on anon page creation for a period of 30 days, as long as after this period has finished, we can take a long hard look at the whole process and evaluate whether or not we want this as a permanent feature. I think the developers should respect this wish, and if things turn out badly, they should be willing to turn off the feature right away. Likewise, if during the 30 day evaluation period there is a consensus to turn the creation off early, the developers should also consider this. There hasn't been the ability for IP users to create pages since 2005 and things change, it's certainly worth a try and we can always go back to how we are at present if the trial doesn't work.
