Glad to hear it recognised as common sense for Wiki's
honesty of functioning, that these things can't be
blocked. Because ---  they already are blocked.
Because user blocks include against these pages.

and permablocks can be imposed by an admin who knows
you intend to use one of these pages upon a finite
block's expiry, and none of Wiki's ruling class will
admit that's logically wrong, as I expect you've seen here.
