How to assess articles
To assess an article, add |class= and |importance= to the WikiProject banner on the article's talk page to get this:
- {{WPUKgeo|class=|importance=}}
To assess the quality of the article, add either stub, start, C, B, GA, A, FA or List after class=.
- Example:
- {{WPUKgeo|class=GA|importance=}}
To assess the importance of the article, add low, mid, high, or top after importance=.
- Example:
- {{WPUKgeo|class=GA|importance=high}}
- The following is a list of parameters for different quality ratings and importance ratings
