<translate> This module is rated as [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Category:Modules in pre-alpha development</tvar>|pre-alpha]].</translate> <translate> It is unfinished, and may or may not be in active development.</translate> <translate> It should not be used from article namespace pages.</translate> <translate> 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.</translate>
alpha
a
<translate> This module is rated as [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Category:Modules in alpha</tvar>|alpha]].</translate> <translate> It is ready for third party input, and may be used on a few pages to see if problems arise, but should be watched.</translate> <translate> Suggestions for new features or changes in their input and output mechanisms are welcome.</translate>
beta
b
<translate> This module is rated as [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Category:Modules in beta</tvar>|beta]], and is ready for widespread use.</translate> <translate> It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.</translate>
release
r general g
<translate> This module is rated as [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Category:Modules for general use</tvar>|ready for general use]].</translate> <translate> It has reached a mature form and is thought to be bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate.</translate> <translate> It is ready to mention on help pages and other resources as an option for new users to learn.</translate> <translate> To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.</translate>
protected
protect p
<translate> This module is [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Category:Modules subject to page protection</tvar>|subject to {{<tvar name=2>#if:</tvar>|cascading|page}} protection]].</translate> <translate> It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages.</translate> <translate> Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Project:Protected page</tvar>|protected]] from editing.</translate>
<translate> Anything else or if missing</translate>
<translate> Module rating is invalid or not specified.</translate>
<translate> These categories are suppressed on pages ending with /doc.</translate>
<translate> To suppress categories on all pages, you can use the code <tvar name=1>|nocat=true</tvar>.</translate>
