Template:Template rating

Template documentation follows
Note: the template above may sometimes be partially or fully invisible.
Visit "Template:Template rating/doc" to edit its documentation if it is available. (How does this work?)

Usage

Basic usage:

{{Template rating|rating}}

Without categories:

{{Template rating|rating|nocat=true}}

Template automatically detects if in module or template namespace, and displays the applicable notice.

Also detects if template or module protected from editing, the template will automatically display a message regarding that too. The reason can optionally be specified, it must be written in full using the |reason= parameter. This must be a full message and not one word like the reasons on Template:Protection padlock § Reasons.

If the documentation subpage is also protected, {{Protection padlock}} can be manually generated on it when it is transcluded by declaring |doc-reason= the same value as you would enter in |1= in {{Protection padlock}}, and |doc-action= the same as the parameter of the name which is the protection action—must be one of edit (default; for normal protection), move (for move-protection) or autoreview (for pending changes): {{Template rating|rating|reason for documentation protection|action=the restricted action on documentation like move or edit}}

If {{Template rating}} is used outside the Template or Module namespace, an error message is displayed instead and will be categorized under Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace (0).

For templates, the rating |1= can be:

• {{Template rating|pre-alpha}}
• {{Template rating|alpha}}
• {{Template rating|beta}}
• {{Template rating|release}}
• {{Template rating|protected}} – deprecated but still accepted and displays equivalent as release; previously showed another protection message that was redundant to the message automatically shown by Template:Template rating/protected.

For modules, the rating |1= can be:

• {{Template rating|pre-alpha}}
• {{Template rating|alpha}}
• {{Template rating|beta}}
• {{Template rating|release}}
• {{Template rating|broken}}
• {{Template rating|deprecated}}

All parameter values are case-insensitive.

Template will not autocategorize if |nocat= set to true.

Examples

{{Template ratingTemplate:\sandbox|pre-alpha|suppress-pp=true|nocat=true}} {{Template ratingTemplate:\sandbox|alpha|suppress-pp=true|nocat=true}} {{Template ratingTemplate:\sandbox|beta|suppress-pp=true|nocat=true}} {{Template ratingTemplate:\sandbox|release|suppress-pp=true|nocat=true}} {{Template ratingTemplate:\sandbox|broken|suppress-pp=true|nocat=true}} {{Template ratingTemplate:\sandbox|deprecated|suppress-pp=true|nocat=true}}

Module with protection

The protection is automatically detected, but this is what it would look like on Module:String for example which is fully-protected.

{{Template rating|release|reason=template|action=edit}}

{{Template ratingTemplate:\sandbox|release|demospace=module|demopage=Module:String|demolevel=edit|suppress-pp=true|nocat=true}}
