Module:Current RfX

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module returns information about currently open requests for adminship and requests for bureaucratship (RfX). It has two functions, rfxNames, which returns a table containing the page names of currently open RfX, and rfx, which returns a table of rfx objects created using Module:Rfx.

Usage

First, load the module.

local currentRfx = require('Module:Current RfX')

Then, choose the function that you wish to use. The functions are outlined in the subsections below.

For the purpose of explanation, in the examples below we will assume that there are currently two users running for adminship, Example and Example2. We will also assume that there is currently one user running for bureaucratship, Example3.

RfxNames

currentRfx.rfxnames()

This returns an array containing the page names of all current requests for adminship and bureaucratship. They are sorted by the order they appear on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship, and requests for adminship (RfAs) and requests for bureaucratship (RfBs) are treated identically. For the example users, the table returned would be as follows:

{
	'Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Example',
	'Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Example2',
	'Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship/Example3'
}

Rfx

currentRfx.rfx()

This returns a table containing two arrays, rfa and rfb; rfa contains rfx objects for currently open RfAs, and rfb contains rfx objects for currently open RfBs. In the case that there are multiple RfAs or multiple RfBs they will appear in the same order as they do on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship. For a description of rfx objects and what they can do, please see Module:Rfx. For the example users, the table returned would be as follows:

{
	rfa = {
		-- Example's rfx object,
		-- Example2's rfx object
	},
	rfb = {
		-- Example3's rfx object
	}
}
