Refresh jobs generated by changing page protection, fun.

You know, this makes me wonder if we should just introduce some sort of abstract "refresh links" table. Every time a page used something like {{PROTECTIONLEVEL:Foo}} or {{#isblocked:Foo|bar|baz}} we would call something like $parserOutput->refreshLink( 'protection', 475 ); or $parserOutput->refreshLink( 'blocked', 5 );

Then hooks or whatever could just initiate a refresh job for something like ( 'protection', 475 ) when the protection level of page_id = 475 was changed and any pages that used something like that would be refreshed.

Due to fix of bug 17970, this should get a higher importance.

Any progress on this?

Anyone?

Probably changing page protection should just call WikiPage::doEditUpdates()?

Or WikiPage::doUpdateRestrictions() should clear some caches itself.
