Module:Sandbox/Mr. Stradivarius/sandbox4 explained

-- This module implements, a meta-template for protection templates.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ title object----------------------------------------------------------------------

-- Get the title object for the current page and add data about protection level to it.-- We are only doing this for the current page, as this is all the -- magic word supports, as of November 2013.

local title =

function title.getCurrentTitle local obj = mw.title.getCurrentTitle local function getProtectionLevel(protectionType) -- Gets the protection level or pending change level of the current title. local frame = mw.getCurrentFrame local level if protectionType

'pc' then level = frame:preprocess('') else level = frame:callParserFunction('PROTECTIONLEVEL', protectionType) end if level

then -- Make unprotected pages return "unprotected" rather than the blank string. level = 'unprotected' end return level end obj.createProtection = getProtectionLevel('create') obj.editProtection = getProtectionLevel('edit') obj.moveProtection = getProtectionLevel('move') obj.pcProtection = getProtectionLevel('pc') return objend
