Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This 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 displayed instead and will be categorized under Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace.

If the documentation subpage is also protected:

{{module rating|rating|reason for documentation protection|action for documentation protection}}

The second and third unnamed arguments correspond to reason and action of {{Pp}} which gets included on the documentation subpage if at least the second unnamed argument is present.

Ratings

The rating should be placed in the first positional parameter. There are six different ratings: pre-alpha, alpha, beta, release, protected, and broken. There are also short alias codes for each of the ratings.

Rating	Aliases	Result
pre-alpha	prealpha pa
alpha	a
beta	b
release	r general g stable
broken	br unstable
Anything else or if missing

Categories

The template will put modules in one of the following categories, according to the rating specified:

• Category:Modules in pre-alpha development (40)
• Category:Modules in alpha (56)
• Category:Modules in beta (196)
• Category:Modules for general use (123)
• Category:Modules subject to page protection (0)

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