Template documentationThis 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: Template:Pre
Without categories: Template:Pre
If {{Module rating}} is used outside the Module namespace, an error message is shown: Template:Error
Ratings
The rating should be placed in the first positional parameter. There are five different ratings: pre-alphaTemplate:IntalphaTemplate:IntbetaTemplate:IntreleaseTemplate:IntTemplate:Intprotected. 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 alpha</tvar>|alpha]].</translate> <translate> It is ready for third party input, and may be used on a few pages to see if problems arise, but should be watched.</translate> <translate> Suggestions for new features or changes in their input and output mechanisms are welcome.</translate> |

| beta
| b
 | <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> |

TemplateData
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.
