User blog comment:WarBlade/Restricting Page Creation on Borderlands Wiki/@comment-71.72.21.252-20121231032759

Removing the "right" to create pages does not solve the problem of vandalism. While you notice that vandals are creating pages, you assume that taking away that particular ability is going to "stem the tide". All that will happen is, instead of a new page, a vandal will just vandalize something else. Now if it is HARDER to delete a page than a simple edit, you would have a point. But if it is NOT HARDER, then it will result in about the same amount of vandals a day while hamstringing creation.
