This Wikipedia page has been superseded by MediaWiki's native protection of nonexistent pages (applied in the same manner as ordinary protection, also see Special:Protectedtitles) and the title blacklist MediaWiki extension and is retained primarily for historical reference. |
This page is about protecting nonexistent pages against creation.
Sysops: To ensure protection against creation, please delete pages before adding their titles to the list or purge this page's cache (not the cache of a "List" page) immediately following the deletions.
The old protected title system has been deprecated. These pages are maintained as static lists to allow them to be found via Special:Whatlinkshere when trying to track down when/why a protected nonexistent page was originally protected.
