Note: The template above might be broken without the parameters; this is normal.Edit this template for the documentation (
How does this work?)
Editors can experiment with this template's
sandbox and
testcases.
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:
Skabelon:Pre
Without categories:
Skabelon:Pre
If {{Module rating}} is used outside the Module namespace, an error message is shown: <translate> Error:</translate> <translate> <tvar name=1>{{Module rating}}</tvar> must be placed in the Module namespace.</translate>
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.

|
 | <translate> This module is rated as [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Category:Modules in beta</tvar>|beta]], and is ready for widespread use.</translate> <translate> It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.</translate> |
