            Bug ID: 69426
           Summary: Automatically (?semi-)protect high edit-rate pages
                    (based on some general threshold?)
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: 1.23.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Page protection

Suggestion from user Hydrargyrum on the English Wikipedia:

| […] It suggests a possible enhancement to the protection mechanism, something
| like leaving an article semi-protected, but automatically throttling the rate
| at which edits can be saved.  If the rate were limited to, say, one per
minute,
| it would still allow work to proceed by registered editors, albeit with some
| frustration due to delays in saving the results.

It's an interesting idea, so I thought I should capture it here.

Note that the related bug 6354 (auto-protecting high page-view pages) was
WONTFIXed back in the day.
