in any way, however, this is a difficult figure to authoritatively find/claim.
There's Main and Featured [1] of course, about 11
Sorry, no.
A quick look at the protection log shows many more protections of articles
as well as other pages; listing in the protected pages categories almost
seems an exception when these are clicked on.

I'm undertaking to have all article and talk page semiprotections on

The idea is that we discuss whether to unprotect the article or talk

Tony is right that these lists of long-term and indefinitely protected or
semi-protected pages should be reviewed periodically. The place to find this
information is here:
