=== From other modules ===

To load this module:

<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="lua">

local effectiveProtectionExpiry = require('Module:Effective protection expiry')._main

</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 in <code>YY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss</code> format, or one of the following strings:

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

* <code>unknown</code> - for pages whichwhere arethe notexpiry is unknown, protected or wherepages thewhich expirydo isnot unknownexist and are not protected

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

It is not yet possible to retrieve the expiry for pending changes protection ("autoreview" action), so it returns 'unknown' in that case.

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