One word of caution, though. Often, we try to create-protect pages we have just deleted. This is logical enough; we want to stop people from re-creating a page we've judged to be inappropriate. However, there is, as of late [[2011]], a bit of a flaw in the Wikia cache which doesn't allow this. If you try to create-protect immediately after deletion, you'll be brought to the edit-protect screen, which isn't what you want. You have to wait between 15 minutes and an hour for the cache to "catch up". | |||
