Template:Module rating/doc

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.

This is the TemplateData for this template used by TemplateWizard, VisualEditor and other tools. See a monthly parameter usage report for Template:Module rating in articles based on its TemplateData.

TemplateData for Module rating

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.

Template parameters

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

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.

Rating	Aliases	Result

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.
