[Mediawiki-l] ProtectSection.php extension

[Jim Hu]

I meant to do this months ago but just got around to it today.  I put  
a page for ProtectSection.php up on mediawiki.org

	http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ProtectSection

it links to the svn version and has the code for my modified version  
on the page.  Originally written by ThomasV... I just tweaked it.

For those who don't already know, ProtectSection.php allows you to  
block editing of text between <protect></protect> tags from editing  
by anyone who is not a sysop or a bureaucrat (these group permissions  
can be modified in the code).  My modification suppresses the section  
edit link for subsections inside protect tags - it may not work  
properly with caching, but I don't have squid running for my wikis so  
I can't test that.
