Description MZMcBride 2012-09-04 01:31:06 UTC
Splitting this off from bug 38536, the current version of the "Page protection" section of MediaWiki's info action (example here: <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki?action=info>) currently looks something like this:

---
Page protection

Page protection (create)    Allow all users
Page protection (edit)      Administrators only
Page protection (move)      Administrators only
Page protection (upload)    Allow all users
---

I think this is needlessly redundant. It could be something like this instead:

---
Page protection

Create protection    Allow all users
Edit protection      Administrators only
Move protection      Administrators only
Upload protection    Allow all users
---

Or even more simply:

---
Page protection

Create    Allow all users
Edit      Administrators only
Move      Administrators only
Upload    Allow all users
---

Repeating "page protection" five times (as the current interface does) feels weird and wrong.
