| = <translate><!--T:1--> This is one of five categories for self-rating of [[<tvar name=1>Special:MyLanguage/Lua scripting</tvar>|modules]] according to the [[<tvar name=2>:w:Software release life cycle</tvar>|software release life cycle]]:</translate><br />
* ''[[:Category:Modules in pre-alpha development|Pre-alpha]]'': <translate><!--T:2--> Unfinished modules which may or may not be in active development.</translate> <translate><!--T:9--> These should not be used from article namespace pages.</translate> <translate><!--T:10--> 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><br />
* ''[[:Category:Modules in alpha|Alpha]]'': <translate><!--T:3--> Modules which are ready for third party input.</translate> <translate><!--T:11--> They may be used on a few pages to see if problems arise, but should be watched.</translate> <translate><!--T:12--> Suggestions for new features or changes in their input and output mechanisms are welcome.</translate> <translate><!--T:13--> Alpha modules should have /doc files describing the available parameters.</translate><br />
* ''[[:Category:Modules in beta|Beta]]'': <translate><!--T:4--> Modules which are ready for more widespread use.</translate> <translate><!--T:14--> They are still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected.</translate> <translate><!--T:15--> Ideally there should be a general announcement location for a module to enter beta status, and a community discussion to establish that it is ready for general use when it is time to release it, but there is not yet any specific procedure.</translate><br />
* ''[[:Category:Modules for general use|Release]]'': <translate><!--T:5--> Modules which reached a mature form and are thought to be bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate.</translate> <translate><!--T:16--> These are ready to mention on Help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn.</translate> <translate><!--T:17--> Modules at this level or above should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing to reduce the amount of reparsing and bad output.</translate><br />
* ''[[:Category:Modules subject to page protection|Protected]]'': <translate><!--T:6--> Established modules in use by very large numbers of articles.</translate> <translate><!--T:18--> Because vandalism or mistakes would affect so many pages, and even trivial editing would cause substantial load on the servers, these are subject to page protection.</translate><br />

<!--T:7--><br />
The exact method by which modules or associated talk or documentation pages are to be tagged still needs some discussion...<br />

Please use <tvar name=1>{{tl|module rating}}</tvar> to rate.<br />
