Thank you all for your responses, as usual here I learned a lot! The tracking category seems to work just fine, so I'll stick to that for the moment.
wgEnableProtectionIndicators <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgEnableProtectionIndicators> seems like a godsend for small wikis, as it looks very configure-and-forget to me. However, for Wikipedias that took their templates from enwiki it's probably too simple, since these versions sometime exapand into banners instead of locks, have reasons etc. Have a good weeked folks!
