GHe pointed out on IRC that there's a way to prevent pages being recreated without leaving them as a redirect. See Wookieepedia:Constantly recreated pages. The line <div style="display:none">{{:Darth Imperius}}</div> causes Darth Imperius to be included in that page which is then protected with the cascading pages option checked to protect all pages included in it too. Darth Imperius can then be deleted and nobody can recreate it except an admin because it's protected. We can hide or show the red links to the blacklisted pages, whatever people prefer. So do we want to switch over to doing it this way? Personally I think it'd be good to get rid of certain unfortunately titled redirects. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oh and it's [[]] for images instead of {{}}. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:58, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'm still a little confused about how this works, but it sounds okay to me. -- Ozzel 23:23, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Basically, a "title blacklist" page has blacklisted entries recorded in the manner described above. The blacklist page itself is cascade-protected under [edit=sysop:move=sysop], and the recorded pages, in effect, will be fully protected as well because the content of those pages (even if null) are being reflected on the cascaded blacklist page.
