Extension:QuickEditProtect

Purpose
Provides an AJAX shortcut to edit protect/un-protect a page. The usual way (through the protect/unprotect form) is still provided.

Features

 * AJAX controlled for performace
 * Secure: respects permissions (usually members of the sysop group have the protect right)

Installation of Javascript file
The file QuickEditProtect.js is provided in the tarball distribution and should be included in the wiki's Mediawiki:Common.js page. The reason to include the javascript code directly in Common.js relates to performance: the less separate JS files, the better.

Dependency

 * Extension:ExtensionManager of version >= 2.0.1
 * Automatically resolved if using PEAR
