So dare I ask, what's the oversight on this? I'm waiting for the
first
day an article is protected that has never been created, in particular.
Well, pre-emptively protecting [[deliberate example redlink]] may be
doable now ;-)
In all seriousness, though, the oversight is that it can easily be
seen what pages are protected in this way - the central "transclusion"
page for these is public, and can be watched easily enough.
(I suppose people can sneakily cascade-protect trivial obscure
subpages with fake transcludes... but, then, they could do
deleted-protected on pages which had never been created under the old
system, too. So no new way of being a dick...)
