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.
