Well, sandister, unfortunately I didn't understand most of then terms you used in the email. Brofo no aba!
By the way, this Ghana article, I personally wouldnt waste time on for obvious reasons. I will rather reach thee level I can get admin, and in that position I will be good to enforce such restrictions on pages that have high vandalism but for again obvious reasons, non African admins avoid to protect. Etua wo y)nko a etua duam. Until we get an African admin who understands contents from Africa, it'll be hard to make these protections. Asa!
