Module:Contentious topics talk banner
Appearance
![]() | This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
![]() | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
![]() | This template is within the jurisdiction of the Arbitration Committee, as one of its associated enforcement processes. Therefore, you must not make significant changes to the wording or functionality of this template without the Committee's consent. Thank you! |
![]() | This module depends on the following other modules: |
To learn about the template {{Contentious topics/talk notice}}, please see its documentation. This page documents the technical details of the module. There is probably little of interest here unless you are an arbitrator or clerk (or you are curious how things work under the hood!).

Technical details
This module is designed to be extensible without needing to edit the module code. Much of its data comes from the following JSON pages:
- Template:Contentious topics/Additional restrictions.json contains per-topic additional restrictions. The
topic-wide
restrictions apply whenever the corresponding CTOP code is given. Theadditional-available
restrictions can be passed as parameters (e.g.|ECR=yes
), and can be used either when a restriction is added to the topic's standard set or when it applies to all articles within a subtopic of the contentious topic designation. - Template:Contentious topics/Restrictions definition.json is the text of the bullet point indicating a restriction is active
- Template:Contentious topics/Standard set.json is a list of all standard set restrictions
- Template:Contentious topics/Category database.json is the name of the category added when a restriction is active (without the
Category:
prefix). The following codes have special meaning:- The
all
category activates for every page tagged with the contentious topic banner - The
bad-topic
category is used whenever a contentious topic code is not found at Template:Contentious topics/list - The
no-date
category is used when there are active, manually-placed restrictions but no|placed-date=
is specified - The
no-topic
category is used when no topics are specified - The
protection-error
category is used when|protection=yes
, but the page is not actually protected
