To load this module:

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="lua">

</syntaxhighlight>

</source>

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 containingin the<code>YY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss</code> nameformat, ofor theone group required to performof the givenfollowing action.strings:

* <code>infinity</code> - for pages protected indefinitely, or pages which exist and are not protected

* <code>unknown</code> - for pages where the expiry is unknown, or pages which do not exist and are not protected

Note that if an existing page is not protected for the requested action, this will return 'infinity'. You need to check separately with [[Module:Effective protection level]].
