There shouldn't be anything preventing an anonymous user from preloading Template:Rip form using the box on the main page or the "click here to make a rip page" link when creating a new page

If you're talking about the page protection on Template:Rip or Template:Rip form, that shouldn't affect using the template when creating a new page. IP users can still create new pages using those templates.
