Preventing Articles from Using Certain Titles

Sometimes there are specific Titles that you don't want any articles to have. You can "Protect" these Titles from your AdminCP, via VaultWiki > Wiki Title Protector.

To add a Protected Title, click "Protect New Title". The form allows you to select a Namespace and enter a Title that can't be used in that Namespace.

To prevent the Title from being used in all namespaces, select '*'.

You can remove Titles from this protected list by clicking the corresponding checkbox, and clicking the "Unprotect Selected Titles" button.

Title Protector Options

Users cannot create articles using a protected title in the Namespace it is protected in. The options in the Title Protector allow administrators to create custom rule sets for article title creation.

Namespace

The Namespace field specifies a namespace where the Protection occurs. The title will only be protected in that namespace. If a user attempts to create an article with the Title in another namespace, it will likely be successfully created.

Title

An Article cannot be created using the Title entered here. If an Article with the Title already exists, the Title cannot be protected from creation without first deleting the Article with the Article's moderation tools.

Managing Existing Articles

If an article with a Title you want to protect was already created, you can use the article's Delete tab to remove the article.

When asked "How would you like to delete?", select "Physically remove". Check "Prevent Users from Recreating This Article" to prevent this Title from being used in the future.
