It would be handy to have w:Template:edit protected available here, which would help users propose improvements to protected pages/templates such that they are likely to be seen in a timely fashion without having to play "guess the venue" (as Project:Protected page would have them do).

To get the one from en.Wikipedia, I think you'd import these pages:

Module:Protected edit request
Template:Editprotected
Template:Edit protected
Template:Edit protected/answered
Template:Edit protected/color legend
Template:Edit protected/color legend/doc
Template:Edit protected/doc
Template:Edit protected/editintro
Template:Edit protected/making a request
Template:Edit protected/preload
Template:Edit protected/testcases

Possibly it would make more sense to steal it from some other wiki using a simpler version, though.

p.s. I wanted to use it to ask someone to do the {{Doc}} dance on {{Langcat}}. Grr, why do those boxes for "semi-protected" pages always show up in red; it keeps confusing me :-(

But it's useless if sysops don't watch that category. We could leave a placeholder in place of the template, telling people to ask here, too. Or, if someone creates the template, they also need to link it from recentchanges and this page etc.
