Support for protecting non-existent pages

            Key: PYWP-5
            URL: https://jira.ts.wikimedia.org/browse/PYWP-5
        Project: pywikipedia
     Issue Type: New Feature
     Components: Framework
       Reporter: Pietrodn 
    Attachments: svn.diff

The developer have recently added to MediaWiki a new feature: a sysop can protect a non-existent page. http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2919 I implemented this in pywikipedia, changing the Page.protect() function to support the "create" protection. The default is "sysop". There is a patch. Regards. Pietrodn
