Details
Whether to maintain a log of new page creations, which can be viewed at Special:Log/create.
The benefits of the page creation log over Special:Contributions (help) and Special:RecentChanges (help) filtered to page creations are its verbatim memorization of original page names regardless of later renaming, and no time limitation like in Special:RecentChanges.
When set to true (default)...
- new page creations will be logged and users will be able to access Special:Log/create to see new page creations on your wiki.
When set to false...
- new page creations will not be logged.
- Any existing page creation log entries created while it was on will not be deleted, however they will no longer be recognized, and hence will appear as
Username performed unknown action "create/create" on page title. If the setting is turned back on, the old page creation log entries will again display properly.
