Template:Module rating
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
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, and protected, and semiprotected. There are also short alias codes for each of the ratings.

TemplateData
This is the TemplateData documentation for this template used by VisualEditor and other tools.
Module rating
| Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rating | 1 | One of 'pre-alpha', 'alpha', 'beta', 'release', 'protected' or 'semiprotected', or an approved (see full docs) abbreviation for one of these. As quality ratings, 'protected' and 'semiprotected' can be considered equivalent to 'release', with editing restrictions.
| String | required |
| Do not categorize | nocat | Set to true to disable categorization by rating. Normally leave blank.
| Boolean | optional |
| Fake namespace | demospace | Set to module to force template to display outside that namespace. Demonstration purposes only.
| String | optional |
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
- Category:Modules for general use
- Category:Modules subject to page protection
These categories are suppressed on pages ending with /doc. To suppress categories on all pages, you can use the code |nocat=true.
