Template:Module rating: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 19:32, 19 June 2023

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively 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.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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.

If the documentation subpage is also protected:

{{module rating|rating|reason for documentation protection|action for documentation protection}}

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.

Rating Aliases Result

pre-alpha

prealpha
pa

File:Ambox warning blue construction.svg

This module is rated as pre-alpha. It is unfinished, and may or may not be in active development. It should not be used from article namespace pages. Modules remain pre-alpha until the original editor (or someone who takes one over if it is abandoned for some time) is satisfied with the basic structure.

alpha

a

This module is rated as alpha. It is ready for third-party input, and may be used on a few pages to see if problems arise, but should be watched. Suggestions for new features or changes in their input and output mechanisms are welcome.

beta

b

File:Greek lc beta.svg

This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.

release

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively 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.

protected

protect
p

File:Full-protection-shackle.svg

This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing.

semiprotected

semiprotect
semi

File:Semi-protection-shackle.svg

This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is semi-protected from editing.

-You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:
-This page is currently semi-protected so that only established, registered users can edit it.
-Why is the page protected?
-While most articles can be edited by anyone, semi-protection is sometimes necessary to prevent vandalism to popular pages.
-The reason for protection can be found in the protection log. If there are no relevant entries in the protection log, the page may have been moved after being protected.
-What can I do?
-If you have a user account, log in first. If you do not yet have an account, you may create one; after 4 days and 10 edits, you will be able to edit semi-protected pages.
-Discuss this page with others.
-For move-protected pages, see requested moves.
-Request that the page's protection level be reduced.
-Find out more about how to get started editing Wikipedia.
-If you have noticed an error or have a suggestion for a simple, non-controversial change, you can submit an edit request by clicking the button below and following the instructions. An established user may then make the change on your behalf. Please check the talk page first in case the issue is already being discussed.
