Template:Module rating/en
Template documentationThis template is used to rate Lua modules by quality. It is placed at the top of the module's /doc subpage. It produces a message informing users about the rating system, and it also places the module into a tracking category.
Usage
Basic usage:
{{module rating|rating}}Without categories:
{{module rating|rating|nocat=true}}If {{Module rating}} is used outside the Module namespace, an error message is shown: Template:Error
Ratings
The rating should be placed in the first positional parameter. There are five different ratings: pre-alpha, alpha, beta, release and protected. There are also short alias codes for each of the ratings.

| pre-alpha
| prealphapa
 | This module is rated as pre-alpha. It is unfinished, and may or may not be in active development. It should not be used other than for testing. Modules remain pre-alpha until the original editor (or someone who takes one over if it is abandoned for some time) is satisfied with the basic structure. |

Categories
The template will put modules in one of the following categories, according to the rating specified:
- Category:Modules in pre-alpha development
- Category:Modules in alpha
- Category:Modules in beta

These categories are suppressed on pages ending with /doc.
To suppress categories on all pages, you can use the code |nocat=true.
