I _think_ the goal is to auto-categorize pages based on page protection
(semi-protected articles, move-protected categories, etc.). This can be done
currently with the {{PROTECTIONLEVEL}} magic word, for example
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)> has:

---
Hidden categories:
Wikipedia semi-protected pages
Wikipedia indefinitely move-protected pages
---

However, these pages must be manually tagged with specific templates (in this
case, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Pp-protected>).

test.wikipedia.org and some other Wikimedia wikis use JavaScript to auto-tag
protected pages (with an icon, not with a category). The English Wikipedia uses
manually added templates (though perhaps with some bot assistance these days),
which provides both a visual cue (the lock icon) and MediaWiki categorization.

I think the goal here is to automate or semi-automate the process of manually
adding/removing protection templates. [[mw:Extension:RightFunctions]] seems
like a strange approach to take, though. I think there's another bug about this
workflow issue.
