You could set up such a test wiki pretty easily: Just set it up on a separate webspace from your main one (testwiki.lspace.org, or whatever), and add: $wgGroupPermissions['user']['protect'] = true; To LocalSettings.php. Then users could protect and unprotect pages when logged in, and log out to see how they would be without the protection permission.

It would be really useful to have a "test wiki" I could point people to to show them what I've done so far, and why it doesn't work.
Ideally, this would be one where any registered user could protect/unprotect pages (of course, giving any user the power to protect/unprotect pages makes protection meaningless, but this would be more to experiment with protected pages, not actually protect them).
Is there such a "test wiki" out there?
I realize I could create test pages and even templates on ANY wiki (even mediawiki.org or wikipedia.org), but it would be wrong to
