Description

Protection indicators added in T12347. In some wikis, such as English Wikipedia, templates that do this also add a tracking category. Such as Template:Pp-vandalism will categorize into Category:Wikipedia pages protected against vandalism.

Since protection indicators are core feature now, tracking categories should be in core as well.

Note some data models do not support categories (such as items), so having categories on them, while potentially useful, may give users impression that Item pages can be categorized.
