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.
Template:Pre
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, protected, and broken. There are also short alias codes for each of the ratings.

pre-alpha
prealpha pa
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.Template:Ifeq: Module rating
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.Template:Ifeq: Module rating
beta
b
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.Template:Ifeq: Module rating
release
r general g stable
This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be 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:Ifeq: Module rating
