Module:Effective protection level

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.

Page protected This module is currently protected from editing.
See the protection policy and protection log for more details. Please discuss any changes on the talk page; you may submit an edit request to ask an administrator to make an edit if it is uncontroversial or supported by consensus. You may also request that this page be unprotected.

This module can only be edited by administrators because it is transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages.

[画像:Warning] This Lua module is used in system messages, and on approximately 71,000 pages.
Changes to it can cause immediate changes to the Wikipedia user interface.
To avoid major disruption, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Please discuss changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This module provides a way to retrieve the group required to perform a given action on a page. It currently tests the following criteria:

The page being pending-changes protected: autoconfirmed
The page being a JavaScript or CSS subpage in userspace, or in the MediaWiki namespace: interfaceadmin
The page being in the MediaWiki namespace: sysop
The page being a JSON subpage in userspace: sysop
The page being protected: sysop, templateeditor, extendedconfirmed, or autoconfirmed
The page being used in a cascading-protected page: sysop
The page's title matching the titleblacklist: templateeditor or autoconfirmed
A file being moved: filemover
A page being moved or a file being uploaded: autoconfirmed
A non-Draft non-talk page being created: user
Anything else: *

Note that if a template-protected file is moved, both filemover and templateeditor are required, but this will return only templateeditor. This is not likely to be changed any time soon, since template protection currently shouldn't be used on files.

Usage

Warning: This module will use up to 4 expensive parser function calls each time it is ran. It should only be used if the exact effective protection level is necessary. Otherwise, consider using title.protectionLevels instead.

From other modules

To load this module:

localeffectiveProtectionLevel=require('Module:Effective protection level')._main

The function accepts two parameters. The first is a string containing the action to check, which must be one of "edit", "create", "move", "upload", "undelete", 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 a string containing the name of the group required to perform the given action.

From wikitext

The parameters are the same as when it is called directly.
