There is one already: just click the "edit" tab and look beneath the 
edit box.  I've been wondering, as I've been reading this thread, why 
people don't just go through the list and protect all the templates 
listed there.  After all, that seems like the easiest solution by far.

(Then again, the solution of using Special:ExpandTemplates to create a 
templateless protected copy on a subpage, and linking to that instead of 
directly to the original article, has its merits too.)
