[edit] Legend
Need: The article's importance, regardless of its quality
| Top | Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopedia | cat |
| High | Subject contributes a depth of knowledge | cat |
| Mid | Subject fills in more minor details | cat |
| Low | Subject is peripheral knowledge, possibly trivial | cat |
Quality: current article quality
 FA |
Featured article | cat |
| A | Article is well written, reasonably complete and referenced; possible featured article candidate. | cat |
 GA |
This is a good article | cat |
| B+ | Very close to a good article, with history, clear explanation, and illustrations. A mathematics-only rating. | cat |
| B | We have a decent article, but it needs further editing | cat |
| Start | Significant cleanup or expansion needed. | cat |
| Stub | Article missing or miserable, or a stub. | cat |

[edit] Rating
To rate an article, place the template {{maths rating}} on the article's talk page. Anyone can add a rating or change an existing rating. The class and importance parameters are used to actually rate and article. These parameters will place the article in the appropriate sub category of Category:Mathematics articles by quality and Category:Mathematics articles by importance.
The full syntax of the maths rating template is:
{{maths rating
|small=
|class=
|importance=
|field=
|comment=
}}
- small=yes can be used when a page has lots of templates, producing a more compact version. Any other value for small parameter is ignored, and the standard template results.
- Class must be one of:
- FA (for Featured Articles only)
- A
- GA (for Good Articles only)
- Bplus
- B
- Start
- Stub
- Dab (disambiguation pages)
- Cat (mathematics categories)
- Image (mathematics images)
- Template (mathematics templates)
- Importance must be one of:
- Top
- High
- Mid
- Low
- NA (for non-articles only)
- field must be one of:
- basics (elementary material and terms used throughout mathematics)
- analysis
- algebra
- general
- geometry (includes topology)
- applied
- probability and statistics
- number theory
- discrete
- foundations (logic and set theory)
- Mathematical physics
- history
- mathematicians
- Comment is used for a brief comment, usually for suggestions on how the article could be improved to bring it up to the next grade. When rating an article, it is helpful to at least put ~~~~ as a comment, so that the date of the rating can easily be seen.
If either class or importance is missing, then the article will be placed in Category:Unassessed mathematics articles or Category:Unassessed-importance mathematics articles respectively. The field element is there for future expansion to break articles up by major fields in mathematics, and currently has no effect other than to state the given field in the box. If field is missing, then the article will be placed in Category:Unassessed-field mathematics articles.
