Thread:Talk:Requests for comment/Itemise protection/Sounds good -- should probably do more UI work along with?/reply (3)

Agreed that the UI may need to be overhauled rather than merely added to in the long term.

I've implemented the proposal without recourse to a Protection/Restriction class, but it's certainly possible.

So in other words, I agree :) But do any of these suggestions block work, or is it better to make the change and then refactor? (That's an honest question: I've never worked on designing proper software before, so I don't know which turns out better in reality.)

[Addendum: Also Brion's suggestion of reforming protection logging, although presumably that would move logging into page_restrictions/protected_titles, which is a fairly major operation by my reckoning.]
