Module:Portal maintenance status/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Module:Portal maintenance status. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Module page. |
 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages. 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 module searches a Portal_talk: page's portal page, and returns an appropriate message based if {{Portal maintenance status}} is found in the page's wikitext, and which parameters are used.
An error is reported if this module is used outside of the Portal_talk namespace. It can be demonstrated, in any namespace, with the |demo= and |demo2= parameters, which take the name of templates to "find" (instead of actually searching a page).
