Module:CalibrationCycle/doc
This is the documentation page for Module:CalibrationCycle
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).
Note on this page's own SMW data: This is a Module: namespace page. The same SMW namespace-exclusion issue found on Template:Admin Page Status/doc and Template:GameModule/doc (Template: namespace pages silently not storing `#set` data) likely also applies to Module: namespace pages by default. Until `$smwgNamespacesWithSemanticLinks` is confirmed to include `NS_MODULE`, the Admin Page Status data below may not appear in Special:Browse even though it is correctly stored via Cargo — this is expected, not a new bug.

Usage in Templates
This module is typically called from within another template (such as Template:Admin Page Status) rather than directly on pages.
Example from inside a template:
| Has cycle status = {{#invoke:CalibrationCycle|cycleStatus|{{{review_date|}}}|{{{review_threshold|90}}}}}
Calibration Dependencies
Note: This module was exercised extensively during today's SMW namespace bug investigation, and its own hardening pass (validation and error-handling fixes) was itself a Calibration Report finding — see [[Talk:Module:CalibrationCycle]].
