Once a page is protected in cascade, every page of the wiki is protected as well as any page that always links or transcludes everything else.
An example list is provided here: https://tuscriaturas.miraheze.org/wiki/Especial:LoQueEnlazaAqu%C3%AD/Grifox
While the page is protected in cascade any other page (despite not appearing there) is protected as well. I think the pages shown there are just the first on the list, but all are protected.
We have disabled the page that was causing this behavior but this is not ideal as we want to protect certain pages.
