MassProtect provides a link to a modal which allows the user to list pages to be protected. Protection options include edit, move, upload, and create with various levels: autoconfirmed ("Block new and unregistered users"), administrator ("Administrators and Content Moderators only") and none ("Allow all users").
Installation
Usage
Complete Tutorial
In order to protect multiple pages, add the page names (not page URLs) each on a new line (including their namespace if necessary) and proceed to protect them. The script will stop when it reaches an empty line.
By default, the script will do one page per second. If you'd like to modify that, add the config massProtectDelay before importing the script with your own number (in milliseconds) instead.
The option to use the Mass Protect script will appear under your "My Tools" list (the toolbar at the bottom of your screen).
Please note you must not have the toolbar at the bottom hidden or the script will not function. If you do not see the "My Tools" (or other language equivalent), try clicking Customize and then "reset defaults" to not hide the "My Tools".
