When pending changes protection first went into trial it was limited to 2000 pages. That restriction was apparently never lifted. Today (October 27 2014) I received this error when attempted to apply pending changes protection. If there is no performance concerns here I'd consider this a rather large issue, as with certain pages we are forced to semi-protect on pages experiencing disruption, even when many edits from unregistered users are constructive. Thanks!
To be clear, the 2000 page limit has been met on the English Wikipedia. Not sure about other wikis, or if this restriction even exists on other wikis.
There are currently 1942 pages listed at [[Special:StablePages]] - what are the missing 58?

Try applying pending changes protection on any page, such as this new admin test page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_admin/Protecting/Protect

I'm guessing it's the below in https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=flaggedrevs.php - It's seemingly only set on a handful of flagged revs wikis $wgFlaggedRevsProtectQuota = 2000; Guess this should probably go to being a MW config bug...
