One more problem I am having with the rubiks wiki.

We have had a shedload of spammers in the past, with the result that a spam post which has been created and deleted again four times is top of the Special:WantedPages list. This is still so even though I have "deleted" all four welcome messages responsible (it would seem that unlike articles, "deleting" Message Wall threads doesn't delete them, it just hides them from users including admins, but not from whatever part of the system drives Wanted Pages) — and even though the page has been protected against re-creation!

One way to cure this problem would be to find whatever page drives the dialog box which pops up when a redlink is (left-)clicked (it isn't MediaWiki:Newarticletext), and replace it with a version which doesn't invoke the Wanted Pages list; but a better one would be if it were possible to restrict Wanted Pages to only pages which are truly wanted, at least when creating a page.

Any thoughts / suggestions?
