template works, but for proper use, it should go into the noinclude block of the template page, rather than in the documentation

{{Template:Template rating|template_name=Sometemplate|rating=draft|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.|debug=1}}
{{dochead|mod=aaa}}{{substitute|no}}{{clear}}{{wikipedia}}
'''{{ARTICLEROOTPAGENAME}}''' is used to denote the rating of a template or module, namely denoting whether or not it can be used. This template is placed within the documentation page of a template, not its <code><nowiki><noinclude></noinclude></nowiki></code> block.


{{Template:Template rating|template_name=Sometemplate|rating=ready|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.}}
Despite the name, this template can also be used on Lua modules' documentation pages.


{{Template:Template rating|template_name=Sometemplate|rating=broken|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.|debug=1}}
=== Parameters ===


{{Template:Template rating|template_name=Sometemplate|rating=deprecated|namespace=Template|replacement=Somenewtemplate|details=Other details go here.|debug=1}}
; <code>rating</code> (required; default <code>draft</code>)
: The rating of template or module.


{{Template:Template rating|template_name=Sometemplate|rating=deprecated|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.|debug=1}}
; <code>namespace</code> (automatically detected using <code><nowiki>{{ARTICLESPACE}}</nowiki></code>)
: The namespace of the page. For normal use, this is automatically detected and does not need to be entered manually.


{{Template:Template rating|template_name=Template:Sometemplate|rating=aaa|namespace=Template}}
; <code>pagename</code> (automatically detected using <code><nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki></code>)
: The name of the page. For normal use, this is automatically detected and does not need to be entered manually.
 
; <code>details</code> (optional)
: Any details about the template or module in question.
 
; <code>replacement</code> (required if <code>rating=replaced</code>)
: The name of the replacement template or module, if the current template or module is being replaced by a new one.
 
; <code>delete</code> (required if <code>rating=replaced</code> or <code>rating=deprecated</code>; default <code>false</code>)
: Whether to delete the template or module, if the current template or module is being either replaced or deprecated. Deprecated templates and modules are generally kept for archival and historical purposes, but those that have seen little use (such as those made for testing or with experimental features) may be deleted instead.
 
; <code>debug</code> (optional; default <code>false</code>)
: Whether to disable categories for [[Template:Category handler]]. For normal use, this should be left unchanged.

=== Usage ===
 
The following examples assumes use for a template. Usage within the module namespace is automatically detected.
 
'''Draft template'''
 
'''Ready''' denotes a template that is work-in-progress, or templates that are being rewritten or refactored.
 
<code><nowiki>{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=draft|details=Other details go here.}}</nowiki></code>
{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=draft|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.|debug=1}}
 
'''Ready template'''
 
'''Ready''' denotes a template that is ready for use on the wiki. The use of this template is not necessary for most templates, as a template without any other indicators is assumed to be a ready template.
 
<code><nowiki>{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=ready|details=Other details go here.}}</nowiki></code>
{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=ready|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.}}
 
'''Broken template'''
 
'''Broken''' denotes a template that is not functioning properly and is currently being fixed. For templates that work but are undergoing refactoring, use the '''draft''' rating.
 
<code><nowiki>{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=broken|details=Other details go here.}}</nowiki></code>
{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=broken|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.|debug=1}}
 
'''Replaced template'''
 
'''Replaced''' denotes a template that should no longer be used and have been superseded by a new template. By default, deprecated templates are ''not'' nominated for deletion, as deleting a deprecated template makes viewing past revisions of transcluding pages much more difficult.
 
<code><nowiki>{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=replaced|replacement=Somenewtemplate|details=Other details go here.}}</nowiki></code>
{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=replaced|namespace=Template|replacement=Somenewtemplate|details=Other details go here.|debug=1}}
 
If a template has not been extensively used, it may be nominated for deletion by adding <code>delete=1</code>.
 
<code><nowiki>{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=replaced|replacement=Somenewtemplate|details=Other details go here.|delete=1}}</nowiki></code>
{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=replaced|namespace=Template|replacement=Somenewtemplate|details=Other details go here.|debug=1|delete=1}}
 
'''Deprecated template'''
 
'''Deprecated''' denotes a template that should no longer be used and has no replacement.
 
<code><nowiki>{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=deprecated|details=Other details go here.}}</nowiki></code>
{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=deprecated|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.|debug=1}}
 
As with replaced templates, deprecated templates are ''not'' nominated for deletion by default. To nominate it for deletion, add <code>delete=1</code>.
 
<code><nowiki>{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=deprecated|details=Other details go here.|delete=1}}</nowiki></code>
{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=deprecated|namespace=Template|details=Other details go here.|debug=1|delete=1}}
 
'''Incorrect options and categories'''
 
This template uses [[Template:Category handler]], which categories templates and modules using this template in the appropriate categories, except those with a rating of ''ready''. Categories are not enabled on /doc or /sandbox pages.
 
In addition to this, this template detects whether it's in the incorrect namespace, such as when used on User namespace pages, and can detect whether it has an unrecognized rating.
 
<code><nowiki>{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=aaa}}</nowiki></code>
{{Template rating|Sometemplate|rating=aaa|namespace=User}}
