This category contains articles that have been tagged by WikiProject Japan. Articles are automatically placed in the appropriate sub-category when a rating is given; please see the assessment instructions for more information. Articles listed here are shown in the table to the right.

The {{WikiProject Japan}} template has a class= parameter which provides an article quality assessment rating and an importance (or priority) parameter which indicates the importance of the article to WikiProject Japan:

{{WikiProject Japan| class=??? | importance=???}}

This template should be placed only on the talk page of articles.

The following values may be used for the class parameter. These are not case-sensitive:

• FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Japan-related articles)
• FL (adds articles to Category:FL-Class Japan-related articles)
• FM (adds pages to Category:FM-Class Japan-related pages)

The following values may be used for the importance (or priority) parameter. These are not case-sensitive:

• Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Japan-related articles)
• High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Japan-related articles)
• Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Japan-related articles)
• Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Japan-related articles)

If an importance/priority rating is not assigned, the article will be filed in Category:Unknown-importance Japan-related articles. The importance/priority should be assigned according to the importance scheme. Articles needing to be assessed (or reassessed) can be listed and discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Assessment.
