Module:CalibrationCycle/doc

Description

This module calculates the status of review cycles based on a given date. It is primarily used to determine whether a page's last review is still current, approaching its deadline, or overdue.

It is designed to work together with Semantic MediaWiki properties (especially Has cycle status and Last reviewed).

Return Values
