Please make [[Special:ProtectedTitles]] available with API.

A possibility: Add "create" to param "apprtype" from "list=allpages"

That won't work, since create-protected pages usually don't exist.

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.

That's a possibility, but it violates the principle of list=allpages: listing all pages that exist. apprtype and similar parameters should limit the list, not expand it.

The WantedPage query is quite expensive, and probably won't be accepted into the API for performance reasons.

I'll think about this over the holidays; I won't be able to do much until January.
