Before using this script, you need to thoroughly understand your wiki's policies about page protection. If your wiki hasn't yet discussed its page protection philosophy, it's a good idea to have that discussion and to write up some kind of policy before using this script. Your community should understand what you're doing with the bot. Misuse of this bot — that is, using it to protect all pages on a wiki — is very easy to do with this bot, but would generally be seen as an abuse of administrative powers in most wiki communities. Remember: you could prevent all non-admin from editing every page on your wiki by issuing just one command with this script.
