Module:Rfx
This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
This is a library for getting information about individual requests for adminship (RfA) and requests for bureaucratship (RfB) pages on the English Wikipedia. It is not meant to be used directly from wiki pages, but rather to be used by other Lua modules.
Creating new objects
[සංස්කරණය]First of all, the library must be loaded, like this:
local rfx = require( 'Module:Rfx' )
Once the library is loaded, you can make a new rfx object using rfx.new()
. Caution - this function is expensive (see below).
rfx.new()
is used like this:
local myRfx = rfx.new( pagename )
The pagename
variable should be the name of a valid RfA or RfB page, for example:
local exampleRfa = rfx.new( 'Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Example' )
If pagename
is not specified, or the page is not a subpage of Wikipedia:Requests for adminship or Wikipedia:Requests for bureaucratship, then rfx.new
will return nil
.
Methods and properties
[සංස්කරණය]Once you have created a new rfx
object, there are a number of methods and properties that you can use. They are all read-only.
- Properties
type
: the type of the rfx. This is either "rfa
" or "rfb
".supports
: the number of supports in the RfX.nil
if the supports could not be processed.opposes
: the number of opposes in the RfX.nil
if the opposes could not be processed.neutrals
: the number of neutrals in the RfX.nil
if the neutrals could not be processed.percent
: the support percentage. Calculated by and rounded to the nearest integer.nil
if it could not be processed.endTime
: the end time of the RfX. This is a string value taken from the RfX page.nil
if it could not be found.user
: the username of the RfX candidate.nil
if it could not be found.
- Methods
Methods must be called with the colon syntax:
local titleObject = exampleRfa:getTitleObject()
getTitleObject()
: gets the title object for the RfX page. See the reference manual for details on how to use title objects.getSupportUsers()
: gets an array containing the usernames that supported the RfX. If any usernames could not be processed, the text "Error parsing signature" is used instead, along with the text of the comment in question. N.b. this technique relies on the text of comment text being unique - if it is not unique thendupesExist()
will treat the identical comments as duplicate votes. If the page content could not be parsed at all, this method returnsnil
.getOpposeUsers()
: gets an array containing the usernames that opposed the RfX. Functions similarly togetSupportUsers()
.getNeutralUsers()
: gets an array containing the usernames that were neutral at the RfX. Functions similarly togetSupportUsers()
.dupesExist()
: returns a boolean indicating whether there were any duplicate votes at the RfX. Returnsnil
if the vote tables couldn't be processed.getSecondsLeft()
: returns the number of seconds left before the RfX is due to close. Once it is due to close, shows zero. If the ending time cannot be found, returnsnil
.getTimeLeft()
: returns a string showing the time left before the RfX is due to close. The string is in the format "x days, y hours
".getReport()
: returns a URI object for X!'s RfA Analysis tool at Wikimedia Labs, preloaded with the RfX page.getStatus()
: returns a string showing the current status of the RfX. This can be "successful", "unsuccessful", "open", or "pending closure". Returnsnil
if the status could not be determined.
You can compare rfx
objects with the ==
operator. This will return true only if the two objects point to the same page. tostring( rfx )
will return prefixedTitle
from the RfX page's title object (see the reference manual).
Expensive functions
[සංස්කරණය]This module makes use of the title:getContent method to fetch RfX page sources. This method will be called for each RfX page being looked up, so each use of rfx.new
will count as an expensive function call. Please be aware that the library may fail for scripts which create many different RfX objects. (The current limit for the English Wikipedia is 500 expensive function calls per page.) Also, each RfX page that is looked up will count as a transclusion in Special:WhatLinksHere.
