[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 Soil articles.

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

Class parameter values (Category:Soil articles by quality)
Value Meaning Category
class=FA Articles which are currently Featured status articles FA-Class Soil articles
class=A A-class articles; A-Class Soil articles
class=GA Articles with a current Good article status GA-Class Soil articles
class=B B-class articles; B-Class Soil articles
class=Start Start-class articles; Start-Class Soil articles
class=Stub Stub-class articles; Stub-Class Soil articles
class=NA This is used for miscellaneous pages such as disambiguation pages, which do not require an assessment (it is recommended that you use additional class values below, though) Non-article Soil pages
class=no value specified Banner will show a message about the issue Unassessed Soil articles
Non article class parameter values (Also Category:Non-article Soil pages)
Value Meaning Category
class=list For lists List-class Soil pages
class=template For templates Template-class Soil pages
class=cat For categories Category-class Soil pages

[edit] Importance scale

  • Exclusively use for articles only.

Each article may also be assigned a particular importance. Articles for which a valid importance has not yet been provided are listed by default in Category:Unknown-importance Soil articles.

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

Class parameter values (Category:Soil articles by importance)
Value Meaning Category
importance=Top Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopedia. Selected for {{WPCD}}. Top-importance Soil articles
importance=High Subject is exceptionally important. High-importance Soil articles
importance=Mid Subject contributes a depth of knowledge. Mid-importance Soil articles
