Log Message:
- New special page: Special:Protectedtitles, which lists titles protected from creation.
Wouldn't it make more sense to work this into Special:Protectedpages? They're logically almost the same, and we have *way* too many special pages. (I hope to merge all the "most linked" ones eventually, for instance.)
My opinion was that "protected from creation" is different from "protected from moving or editing", because there is a distinction between protecting existing content from interference, and preventing old content from being created. I figured that, from a usage perspective, people would be more likely to look at them separately. Of course, it could be done as an extra option on Special:Protectedpages called 'create'. This would, unfortunately, involve changing buildQuery quite substantially, although it could, of course, be done.
