Modul:Protection banner/dok

This module creates protection banners and padlock icons that are placed at the top of protected pages.

Usage

Most users will not need to use this module directly. For adding protection templates to articles you can use the {{pp}} template, or you may find it more convenient to use one of the more specific protection templates in the table below.

From wikitext

{{#invoke:Protection banner|main
| 1        = reason
| small    = yes/no
| action   = action
| expiry   = expiry
| date     = protection date
| user     = username
| section  = talk page section name
| category = no
}}

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

• 1 - the reason that the page was protected. If set, this must be one of the values listed in the reasons table.
• small - if set to "yes", "y", "1", or "true", a padlock icon is generated instead of a full protection banner.
• action - the protection action. Must be one of "edit" (for normal protection), "move" (for move-protection) or "autoreview" (for pending changes). The default value is "edit".
• expiry - the expiry date of the protection. This can be a date (for temporary protection), or one of the strings "indef", "indefinite", "indefinitely", or "infinite" (for indefinite protection). If this is a date, it must be valid input to the second parameter of the #time parser function.
• date - the protection date. This must be valid input to the second parameter of the #time parser function. This argument has an effect for reasons that use the PROTECTIONDATE parameter in their configuration. As of July 2014, those were the "office" and "reset" reasons.
• user - the username of the user to generate links for. As of July 2014, this only has an effect when the "usertalk" reason is specified.
• section - the section name of the protected page's talk page where discussion is taking place. This works for most, but not all, values of reason.
• category - categories are suppressed if this is set to "no", "n", "0", or "false".
