Please make [[Special:ProtectedTitles]] available with API. A possibility: Add "create" to param "apprtype" from "list=allpages"

But when list this page, it can have the missing-flag. The same way by using prop=info and inprop=protection (http://de.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&inprop=protection&titles=Benutzer:Raymond/sperre) It was only a possibility. In my opinion it is the best way, because it is easy for the user of a API to have all protectionlevel at one point and can create the query he need. I see there no inconsistency, because list=allpages lists all defined pagetitles. The one are defined by a exists page, the other by a protection. (The next step is the "WantedPages", because the pagetitle is defined by a link.) I hope the bug can realize in any way.

The WantedPage query is quite expensive, and probably won't be accepted into the API for performance reasons. > I hope the bug can realize in any way. > I'll think about this over the holidays; I won't be able to do much until January.
Added list=protectedtitles in r47231
