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

For users

  1. 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.

For admins

  1. Block the editor who created said unwanted article or category page;
  2. Delete the said unwanted article or category page;
  3. Protect the title so that only admins may recreate the page
  4. If the user was a spammer, edit my spam blacklist and add the basic URL
