-- 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.
