RationalWiki talk:Anti-page resurrection
have I forced black holes to be some kind of bad word? Bohdan
- Just thwarting our vandle with fancy wiki stuff. CP should learn cascading protecting, you should suggest it instead of the redirected to deleted page :). tmtoulouse torment 13:46, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- Please explain what it is. It sounds valuable. Bohdan
- That would be helping the dark side! - Icewedge 13:48, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- True, but we are better people :). Its a page like this one that is protected with cascading protecting so any pages linked to it are also protected. IT allows you to "protect" a deleted page AND keep it deleted rather than having to have the page and redirect it to a protected page like CP is doing. tmtoulouse torment 13:49, 16 August 2007 (CDT)
- Protecting pages from reacreation is actualy pretty foolish. Its way to easy to get around. Better just to delete the page. - Icewedge 13:54, 16 August 2007 (CDT)

Black hole[edit]
Any chance of unprotecting? Assuming Bohdan et al have stopped pissing about with it. I've just laboriously written an article & find it unpostable. Keep me out of it! 18:23, 22 August 2007 (CDT)
- I'd be willing to, opinions of other sysops? Locke

Of course I could do it TK style (CapS) - I've tried it & it will.Keep me out of it! 18:33, 22 August 2007 (CDT)
- It's unprotected now. Locke

Encyclopedia dramatica[edit]
Does this need to be redlinked in this page? as it appears in the wanted pages list, even though this page indicates it is definitely an unwanted page. --Remarcsd 20:00, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
- If it does not transclude then the protection does not work. - Icewedge 20:10, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
- I suspected that it may be something like that. The irony is beautiful.--Remarcsd 20:14, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
- Did I ruin it by nowiki'ing the template link?--PalMD-If it looks like a donut, eat it 20:29, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
- Probably. Read above how this works. When you protect a page, you get the option to also auto-protect any page it transcludes. (think how handy that would be on template-heavy pages like the main page here) You kinda un-transcluded it. I think. No biggie though. Western civ. will stumble on, even in the darkness. human

Creation protection[edit]
Why don't we get the creation protection feature such as exists on Wikipedia instead of this kludge?--Ipatrol 23:29, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
- What version does it run on? Also this isn't Wikipedia, you seem confused as you have mentioned it at least 3 times in the last half an hour. - User 23:37, 16 April 2009 (EDT)
