Module:Portal maintenance status/doc

This module searches a Portal_talk: page's portal page, and returns an appropriate message based if {{Portal maintenance status}} is found in the page's wikitext, and which parameters are used. An error is reported if this module is used outside of the Portal_talk namespace. It can be demonstrated, in any namespace, with the |demo= and |demo2= parameters, which take the name of templates to "find" (instead of actually searching a page).
