[edit] Rating Articles
When tagging articles, the articles class and importance can be rated. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Gemology and Jewelry/Assessment for details on assessment guidelines.
- |class= |importance=
[edit] Class
The following values may be used for the class parameter:
-
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Gemology and Jewelry pages)
[edit] Importance
The following values may be used for the importance parameter:
-
- Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Gemology and Jewelry articles)
- The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA
