Documentation for this module may be created at Module:ATA/doc

-- The purpose of this module ("Articles To Avoid") is to allow people
-- who want to avoid editing specific articles to add the following in their signature:

-- {{subst:#invoke:ATA|block|User:Wnt/MyATABlacklist|allow=Some Article}}

-- The Lua script will go to the first anon parameter and import its content.
-- This is a list of articles you don't want to edit
-- (say, because you're topic banned, or you're worried Putin is out to get you), 
-- does a frame.preprocess on it to ensure (???) any transclusions are done, 
-- gets the current page you are editing, and sees if currentpage is in the list.
-- If so, it returns the link to Encyclopedia Dramatica
-- (eventually, a proposal should be made to add an error message added to the blacklist
-- that explains the program that is doing it and what you need to do to your signature to undo it).
-- Note that the signature preferences are not directly accessible to very many people, 
-- maintaining a certain sort of privacy
-- (if you elect to make a call to an existing blacklist posted by someone else, for example, or
-- if you opt out of the blacklist hoping you'll get away with it)
-- but of course, right now anyone can see what articles you've edited.
-- starting below from a straight copy of my Module:TrainingPages:
