This is a documentationsubpage for Template:Module rating{{#if:||.}} It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original {{#if: |{{{text2}}} |{{#if: |{{{text1}}} |{{#ifeq:Template |User |template template page |{{#if:Template |template page|article}}}}}}}}.
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.
If {{[[{{#if:|{{{SISTER}}}Template|Template}}:Module rating|Module rating]]{{#if:||{{{2}}}}}{{#if:||{{{3}}}}}{{#if:||{{{4}}}}}{{#if:||{{{5}}}}}{{#if:||{{{6}}}}}{{#if:||{{{7}}}}}{{#if:||...}}}} 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:
{{#if:{{[[{{#if:|{{{SISTER}}}Template|Template}}:module rating|module rating]]{{#if:rating||rating}}{{#if:reason for documentation protection||reason for documentation protection}}{{#if:action for documentation protection||action for documentation protection}}{{#if:||{{{5}}}}}{{#if:||{{{6}}}}}{{#if:||{{{7}}}}}{{#if:||...}}}}|{{[[{{#if:|{{{SISTER}}}Template|Template}}:module rating|module rating]]{{#if:rating||rating}}{{#if:reason for documentation protection||reason for documentation protection}}{{#if:action for documentation protection||action for documentation protection}}{{#if:||{{{5}}}}}{{#if:||{{{6}}}}}{{#if:||{{{7}}}}}{{#if:||...}}}}}}{{#if:||{{{2}}}}}{{#if:||{{{3}}}}}{{#if:||{{{4}}}}}{{#if:||{{{5}}}}}{{#if:||{{{6}}}}}{{#if:||{{{7}}}}}{{#if:||{{{8}}}}}{{#if:||{{{9}}}}}{{#if:||{{{10}}}}}{{#if:||{{{11}}}}}{{#if:||{{{12}}}}}{{#if:||{{{13}}}}}{{#if:||{{{14}}}}}{{#if:||{{{15}}}}}{{#if:||{{{16}}}}}{{#if:||{{{17}}}}}{{#if:||{{{18}}}}}{{#if:||{{{19}}}}}{{#if:||{{{20}}}}}
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.
