A deleted protected page here on WikiIndex is an article (or category) page that is the target of being repeatedly recreated, and is typically spam or other off-topic material. When an administrator discovers constantly recreated pages, they protect it so that only sysops can (re)create it.
Instructions[edit]
For users[edit]
- Nominate the offending page for deletion by adding
{{Delete}}at the top of the edit box on said page, and wait for an admin to delete it.
