Hi Strainu,
This touches on an issue with the internal representation of "protection
changed" event. I filed a ticket for fixing it
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T406751>. Thanks to Tgr for bringing it to my
attention.
Having a MediaWiki domain event fire when protection expires wouldn't directly
solve your problem, but it would make it possible to eventually include it in a
public event stream of some sort.
Cheers,
daniel

Hi all,
I'm trying to automate wrangling protection templates. Adding them is trivial,
but I'm having issues with the removal. The best I have is go waaay back on
protections, check the expiration date and see if the page is still protected.
But that's both expensive and useless for long-term protections.
Is there any event/notification/anything at all available through the API that
would allow me to know which pages' protection expired recently without
keeping a list of protected pages?
Thanks,
Strainu
