OMG!!! RightFunctions!
I realize my section heading is AOL-speak, but in this case I think it's justified (I almost never use IM langauge). Imagine my surprise when, just when I was trying (and failing) to write my own extension to return the current protection level of a page, I discovered yours (RightFunctions) in a search for "getrestrictions"! What joy! And you just added it a few days ago. Congratulations on the extension, by the way; it's doing exactly what I need it to do so far. Thanks for making it and saving me from hours of writing and debugging! — Tuvok[Talk/en.wp] 19:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, and glad you enjoy it ^_^. I'm planning on making getrestrictions and ifprotected much more powerful in 1.4, so that'll come by in a few days (hopefully). And if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know :) --Skizzerz talk 00:40, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I just came here after cascade-protecting something and noticing that it didn't get tagged as protected. Is cascade-protection detection (I know, ouch) planned? I see you're using  in the code; perhaps that's a problem with MediaWiki's function that should be put in Bugzilla (if it's not there already)? That's the only bug missing feature I've seen so far (with the extension; my ParserFunctions chops have also needed work :P). I'll be watching the extension page for updates; cheers! — Tuvok[Talk/en.wp] 02:25, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, should work now. --Skizzerz talk 04:12, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I haven't tested the cascade detection yet, but it no longer works on pages I've explicitly protected. Every protected page I put the template on now displays my "not protected" icon (if you want my template source, just ask). I've gone back to 1.3. It's probably just a code flow issue. I'll look at the extension's code in a bit, after breakfast. Glad to see you're working on development, though. :) — Tuvok[Talk/en.wp] 13:57, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
