This template is being considered for merging with Template:Module rating. Please discuss this matter at this template's entry at templates for discussion to help reach a consensus.

This template 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.

The "mock-up" rating applies to templates that serve as a proof-of-concept demonstration for new functionality or features. These templates are designed to showcase potential new capabilities or design concepts, but they are not intended for long-term use in their current form. A mock-up template is typically a first step in the development process, allowing developers and users to explore the viability and utility of a new idea before it is fully implemented. Mock-ups should be monitored carefully, as they may undergo frequent updates or be retired altogether once the final design is ready for implementation in Lua. It is ready for third party input, and may be used on a few pages to see if problems arise. Users are encouraged to provide feedback on the mock-up's functionality on the Template talk page to aid in its development.<!--
