 | Module rating is invalid or not specified. |
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:If preview
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.

|pre-alpha || prealphapa ||  | This template is rated as pre-alpha. It is incomplete and may or may not be in active development. Do not use it in article namespace pages. A template remains in pre-alpha until its developer, or another editor who adopts it if it is abandoned for some time, considers the basic structure complete. |
|-
|alpha || a ||  | This template is rated as alpha. It is ready for limited use and third-party feedback. It may be used on a small number of pages, but should be monitored closely. Suggestions for new features or adjustments to input and output are welcome. |
|-
|beta || b ||  | This template is rated as beta. It is considered ready for widespread use, but as it is still relatively new, it should be applied with some caution to ensure results are as expected. |
|-
|release || rgeneralg ||  | This template is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |

|protected || protectp || | This template is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate.

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.
