[edit] Usage instructions

This template is the project banner for WikiProject Ethnic groups, and is added to the talk pages of articles within the Project's scope.

[edit] Small size option

Setting the parameter |small=yes creates a more compact, right-aligned version. See Talk:Popora people for an example.

[edit] Quality scale

The first table below gives a brief, one-sentence description of possible quality scale values. Before assigning any article to a class, please take a few moments and read the full description of the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team's assessment system.

[Also see the Other Template Parameters, in the second table below.]

Each article may also be assigned to a particular class, intended as a point-in-time assessment of its overall "quality" - relative to the criteria given in the quality scale which is detailed below. Articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed by default in Category:Unassessed Ethnic groups articles.

The following values may be used for the class parameter (they should be entered exactly as given):

Class parameter values (Category:Ethnic groups articles by quality)

class=FA	Articles which are currently Featured status articles	FA-Class Ethnic groups articles
class=A	A-class articles;	A-Class Ethnic groups articles

[edit] Importance scale

Each article may also be assigned a particular importance; for ethnic groups, we make a ver simple use of this. Articles for which a valid importance has not yet been provided are listed by default in Category:Unassigned-importance Ethnic groups articles.

Class parameter values (Category:Ethnic groups articles by importance)

class=Low	Articles that are not about individual ethnic groups and are not likely to be of general interest (for example, a building that houses an ethnic organization); also miscellaneous pages such as disambiguation pages, which do not require an assessment	Low-importance Ethnic groups articles
