@RhinosF1: yeah, I agree, it definitely sounds like a bug, or at least an undesirable way of going about protecting pages and titles. Creation protecting page titles should ideally follow the same method of protecting pages, with both "create" and "protect" levels of protection on non-existent pages. I'll try searching through Wikimedia Phabricator to see if there's an outstanding request for this (would be somewhat surprised if there isn't).
