This module provides a way to retrieve the expiry of a restriction over a given action on a page.
This module will use up to 1 expensive parser function call each time it is ran. It will not use any if was already called.
To load this module:
The function accepts two parameters. The first is a string containing the action to check, which must be one of "edit", "create", "move", "upload", or "autoreview". The second is optional, and can either be the name of the page to check, or a title returned from the mw.title functions. If the second parameter is omitted, the page being displayed is the one checked against.
The return value is either a date string in YY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss format, or one of the following strings:
infinity - for pages protected indefinitely, or pages which exist and are not protectedunknown - for pages where the expiry is unknown, or pages which do not exist and are not protectedNote that if an existing page is not protected for the requested action, this will return 'infinity'. You need to check separately with .
The parameters are the same as when it is called directly.
