Would it be okay to put this feature into the ?action=refcount script?
It's already displaying a list of pages anyway.
Or, this could be done as a special "fmt=" parameter to (:pagelist:)
and (:searchlist:), although there's not yet a filter that says "show me
only the protected pages".

And yes, these are open questions.
Maybe this feature deserves a PITS entry where it can be discussed over
a longer timeframe and voted upon.
