You might want to take a look at how it works inside the API :
includes/api/ApiProtect.php

I've posted this question twice before without so much as a courtesy response of "Sorry, we don't know." I'd really appreciate some help with this, as I have not been able to track down any information on protecting pages (aside from "click protect at the top of the page") and asking in the IRC chan on freenode usually goes unanswered as well.
Greetings all,
Is it possible for an extension to set a page as "protected"? I have a tag that displays help info for my extension, I'd like to drop it in a page, and have the tag set the page as protected via a parameter. The idea is to allow the tag to display its output but have the page be protected from editing.
Thanks for any advice, much appreciated.
