Member Function Documentation

Blocks the user specified in the parameters for the given expiry, with the given reason, and with all other settings provided in the params.

If the block succeeds, produces a result containing the details of the block and notice of success. If it fails, the result will specify the nature of the error.

Returns an array of allowed parameters (parameter name) => (default value) or (parameter name) => (array with PARAM_* constants as keys) Don't call this function directly: use getFinalParams() to allow hooks to modify parameters as needed.

Some derived classes may choose to handle an integer $flags parameter in the overriding methods. Callers of this method can pass zero or more OR-ed flags like GET_VALUES_FOR_HELP.

Returns:
array|bool

Returns usage examples for this module.

Return false if no examples are available.

Returns:

Returns:
bool|string|array Returns a false if the module has no help url, else returns a (array of) string

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 246 of file ApiBlock.php.

Returns an array of parameter descriptions.

Don't call this function directly: use getFinalParamDescription() to allow hooks to modify descriptions as needed.

Returns:
array|bool False on no parameter descriptions

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 166 of file ApiBlock.php.

References array().

Returns a list of all possible errors returned by the module.

Don't call this function directly: use getFinalPossibleErrors() to allow hooks to modify parameters as needed.

Returns:
array in the format of array( key, param1, param2, ... ) or array( 'code' => ..., 'info' => ... )

Reimplemented from ApiBase.

Definition at line 221 of file ApiBlock.php.

References array().

Returns possible properties in the result, grouped by the value of the prop parameter that shows them.

Properties that are shown always are in a group with empty string as a key. Properties that can be shown by several values of prop are included multiple times. If some properties are part of a list and some are on the root object (see ApiQueryQueryPage), those on the root object are under the key PROP_ROOT. The array can also contain a boolean under the key PROP_LIST, indicating whether the result is a list.

Don't call this function directly: use getFinalResultProperties() to allow hooks to modify descriptions as needed.

Returns:
array|bool False on no properties
