Check out FACILITY Class profile STGADMIN.IGG.DIRCAT in RACF if it can prevent 
a re-occurance of this problem.

We have also our house rules - Let the system decides on blocksizes, catalogs, 
Volsers and WLM classes amongst a lot of related rules+settings.

And we warned the users - if we find an uncataloged dataset - it will be 
deleted [1] without any backups + questions at all.

[1] - Of course the normal checks of being cataloged in another system applies.
