Wiktionary:Protected titles
Wiktionary welcomes articles. However, some protologisms do not currently satisfy our criteria for inclusion, and we have decided that they should not have a Wiktionary article. Pages listed in the lists linked to below are protologisms that have been deleted and re-created multiple times. The purpose of this page is to prevent the further re-creation of articles by those titles without having to create and protect dummy placeholder articles, which search engines would pick up.
How it works
All of the list pages linked to below are protected, and may only be edited by editors who have administrator privileges. The cascading protection flag is set on each list page. Each entry in the list is transcluded onto the page, so that cascading protection thereby protects the article title against editing.
Instructions
Only administrators may add or remove entries:
- To protect a title
- Simply transclude the page onto an appropriate list. Remember that transclusion defaults to the Template: namespace, so you must explicitly specify otherwise by preceding the full name of the page (inclusive of namespace) with a colon.
- To unprotect a title
- Simply remove the transclusion.
Requesting protection or unprotection of a title:
- To request protection or unprotection
- Ask an administrator.
