Ditto on the current sentiments - I agree with the feature.

What I would like is the ability to get an index of all my site's pages and 
see at-a-glance which ones were protected by passwords and which ones 
weren't.

One option is to change the wiki link color for password-protected pages to 
distinguish them from unprotected pages.  Currently, I use 
%red%MyPrivateStuff%% to indicate that a page is password protected, but 
then I have to make edits of that nature any time I add a password to a 
previously-unprotected page.

Doing wiki link recoloring automatically would be cool - maybe a 
configuration variable in config.php that would control this - specifically, 
enable different colors for each type of password-protection (blue for 
normal, red for read-password protected orange for edit-password protected, 
something else for attr password).  That way, an admin could decide whether 
he/she is interested in this or not.
