Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Wikidata/Creation protection for items/Proposal

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
  • Problem: When there is a spam in Wikipedia and we delete the page, they create again and then we simply protect the title against creation. In Wikidata, this is not possible and a spammer easily moves on a newer Qid and has been a game of cat and mouse all the time.
  • Proposed solution: Have a way to easily protect an item against recreation under another Qid
  • Who would benefit: Admins and patrollers of Wikidata. Users of wikidata due to improved data quality
