What I do is I created a new panel to replace the default New Page panel. The new panels has a drop down list and a text field and a submit button. The drop down contains a list of spaces where users can select where they want to create a page in, and text field is obviously for the new title. In this way, the Space creation function has been hide from users. Of course, users still can if they know xwiki well. Unless we have more better way, this is ok. Also this give users a friendly way to create pages where they don't need to go to the target space before creation.

[xwiki-users] How can I forbid Users to create spaces
Hi! I have two questions: - As already mentioned in the subject, I want to forbid users to create spaces, only some user groups should be allowed to create spaces. - How can I make some spaces like xwiki, Main, and especially Panels, Stats invisible for any user except the admin user. I do not want them into index or even when in the search. Is this possible?
