Description James Forrester 2014-08-12 08:13:55 UTC 
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.

Won't happen in core, but an extension could be written. (Though I doubt it would end up getting used on the WMF cluster.)
