Undefined page deletion

[Monarch_Laciel]

Twice now I have been writing threads for the forum, and then I go off and do something else without finishing. I go back and complete the thread and post it and it says it has been deleted as an Undefined page for spam. This time it said it was by Lina Shields. So if I don't finish and post the thread quickly enough, do admins delete it before it is ever posted? Does having a thread open like that slow down the wiki or something?

It is better to wait with posting new topics until after you have finished writing them, yes. Othervise they cause confusion and disorganisation.

It's not that I post them before I've finished writing them. It's that I write out half of what I want to talk about, need to go do something else, come back half an hour later and finish writing, then click post. And when it goes to the newly made thread page, it says the page title is undefined and that it has been deleted for spam

Well, it is better to write in a word processor first, and then copy and paste the text after you have finished.

As Antvasima said, if you really can't finish writing in one sitting, it's best to copy-paste it to a free word processor like Google Docs to save it before coming back to avoid confusion and unnecessary heartache.

Happens sometimes if you wait too long. Ctrl+Z really helps.
