Wikipedia:WikiProject Dentistry/Article rating
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Article Rating for WikiProject Dentistry is modeled along WikiProject Medicine's efforts to rate all related articles on quality and importance. All articles within the scope of WikiProject Dentistry are eligible for rating. Since the study and practice of dentistry covers many topics, some articles may be shared with other WikiProjects. Working with other projects to improve shared articles will hopefully increase the quality of those articles. If any question arises on how to deal with a shared article, then the two projects can work together on the issue.
The quality scale uses Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale, and the importance scale uses another of Wikipedia 1.0's criteria. In order to help categorize articles related to dentistry, just paste the appropriate template on the article's talk page.
The basic format for the template is {{WPDENT|class=XX|importance=YY}}. Replace XX with one of the Quality ratings, and replace YY with one of the Importance ratings. To identify an article as part of WikiProject Dentistry but not give a rating, place {{WPDENT|class=Unassessed}} on the talk page of the article. A list of these articles can be found here.
