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.

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
pre-alpha	prealpha pa
alpha	a
beta	b
release	r general g
protected	protect p
semiprotected	semiprotect semi
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
• 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.
