Category:Mathematics articles by importance

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This category classifies articles by their importance (or priority) within WikiProject Mathematics.

To assess a mathematics article,  update (or place) the {{maths rating}} template on the article's talk page, using the syntax:

{{maths rating
  |class = quality grading
  |importance = importance rating
  |field = field name
}}

There is also a vital parameter to categorize vital articles and a historical parameter to categorize articles with significant historical content.

The possible priority levels are Top, High, Mid and Low. The synonym priority is also available for the importance parameter.

The possible class quality gradings are FA (for Featured Articles only), A, GA (for Good Articles only), Bplus, B, Start, Stub. There are also additional classes for disambiguation pages, categories, images, and templates. See the maths rating template for further information.

Assessment should be based on the following table, which also lists the recognized fields.
