Template:Module rating
{{Module other|
| File:Green check.svg | 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. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. 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:
Without categories:
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:
Template:Pre 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.
