Usage

To add an article to the list, simply add the template to the talk page of the article with the following parameters:

{{Physics
 |class=XXX
 |importance=YYY
 |needs-infobox=
 |attention=
}}
  • class: Options are FA, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, Cat, NA. If blank, this will default as Unassessed. Descriptions of the options can be found at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. NA is "not applicable".
  • importance: Options are Top, High, Mid, Low, NA. If blank, this will default as Unknown priority. NA is "not applicable". This is the importance within physics according to this scale.
  • attention: Answer yes if the page needs immediate attention, otherwise remove this line.
  • needs-infobox: Answer yes if the article needs an infobox, otherwise remove this line.
  • auto: This parameter is for the use of bots. It calls the {{stubclass}} template.

How to

Tag a page

Just add {{physics|class=|importance=}} to an article

Rate an article with a class

... that's already tagged with {{physics}}

Edit the talk page, change the class= parameter to the appropriate rating, or add |class= if not already present, and save the page.

See above for available ratings. Please leave comments about how to improve the article on the /Comments page linked to in the template once you've rated the article.

... that isn't

Edit the talk page, add {{physics|class=|importance=}}, and change the class parameter as appropriate before saving the page.

See above for available ratings. Please leave comments about how to improve the article on the /Comments page linked to in the template once you've rated the article.

Leave comments to explain the rating

If comments haven't already been left, then click on the red /Comments list and leave your comments on that page. If they have already been left, then un-hide the comments using the "Show" link on the right of the template, then click on the "edit" link.

Please note that if you put headers on the comments page (i.e. == Text ==, then the table of contents will get moved into the comments box also. You can avoid this by putting __TOC__ just below the physics template call on the article's talk page.

... that's already tagged with {{physics}}

Edit the talk page, change the importance= parameter to the appropriate rating, or add |importance= if not already present, and save the page.

Agree that the stub rating is appropriate where the page was auto-tagged

Remove the |auto=yes parameter from within {{physics}}, such that the rating reads {{physics|class=stub|importance=}} . Please also update the importance tag if appopriate.
