protect.py is script for protecting pages onwiki en-masse.
Currently it protects pages only with level in which only admins can edit/move page. I think to it should have option to choose level for protection instead of default protecting pages with only-administrator.
I think this request is invalid because it already supports those parameters (they existed before the task was created, as they are mentioned in rPWBCac834c998a from 2014)
-unprotect Acts like "default:all"
-default: Sets the default protection level (default 'sysop'). If no
level is defined it doesn't change unspecified levels.
-[type]:[level] Set [type] protection level to [level]
Usual values for [level] are: sysop, autoconfirmed, all; further levels may be
provided by some wikis.
For all protection types (edit, move, etc.) it chooses the default protection
level. This is "sysop" or "all" if -unprotect was selected. If multiple
parameters -unprotect or -default are used, only the last occurrence
is applied.
