 | 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. |

Technical details
This module is designed to be extensible without needing to edit the module code. Much of its data come from the following JSON pages:
- Template:Contentious topics/Additional restrictions.json contains per-topic additional restrictions. The
topic-widerestrictions apply whenever the corresponding CTOP code is given and applies to the entire page (i.e. there are no|-section=parameters). Theadditional-availablerestrictions 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. If the contentious topic applies only to a section, thetopic-widebehave likeadditional-availablerestrictions. - 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
allcategory activates for every page tagged with the contentious topic banner - The
bad-topiccategory is used whenever a contentious topic code is not found at Template:Contentious topics/list - The
no-datecategory is used when there are active, manually-placed restrictions but no|placed-date=is specified - The
no-topiccategory is used when no topics are specified - The
protection-errorcategory is used when|protection=yes, but the page is not actually protected - The
unknowncategory is used when unknown parameters are provided
