New protection feature

I recently read on WP:AN about the new protection feature for protecting redlinks without using WP:SALT, and instead, just using the regular protection ability. Does anyone else think that should be included here? Acalamari 18:35, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that would be helpful, you may want to include MediaWiki:Titleblacklist also and how to use it. Oysterguitarist 23:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Its now depricated. Same protection procedure as a blue linked article.--Hu12 (talk) 20:43, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New section

Added Wikipedia:New_admin_school/Protecting#Special_pages. Although New admins most likely won't act as quickly on these types of pages as the veterans, some guidence may be helpful. Correct or modify as needed. thanks--Hu12 (talk) 20:39, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Outdated instructions

The instructions here seem to be from a previous version of the tools. They say to choose block new and unregistered users or block all non-admin users. Actually the menu actually now says Allow all users, Allow only autoconfirmed users, etc. Shall I rewrite the parts where I feel confident what needs to be corrected? --MelanieN (talk) 17:16, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
