Description:
Currently all MediaWiki messages (in the MediaWiki namespace) are protected by
default, can be unprotected, but the unprotection has no effect - they will
still be protected.

While it might be desirable to have MediaWikipages protected by default, one
should be able to also unprotect them.

Many of them allow HTML. Unprotecting them would allow XSS attacks.
