<!-- Categories go at the bottom of this page and interwikis go in Wikidata. -->

This template is used to rate [[WP:LUA|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:

{{pre|{{tlx|module rating|''rating''}}}}

Without categories:

{{pre|{{tlx|module rating|''rating''|3=nocat=true}}}}

If {{tlx|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:

{{pre|{{tlx|module rating|''rating''|3=reason for documentation protection|4=action for documentation protection}}}}
The second and third unnamed arguments correspond to reason and action of {{tl|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.

}
</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 {{para|nocat|true}}.
