... Why is this in #Engineering-Community ?
"salt" is the term used for title (rather than page) protection from creation, right?

TheDJ edited projects, added MediaWiki-Page-protection; removed Developer-Advocacy.
TheDJ set Security to None.

I had no idea where to request this. I am not very technical. And yes, salt means protection of the title from recreation. Sorry to be so unclear. Anna
