This category contains mathematics articles which have been assessed as vital. To place an article in this category, add vital=yes to the {{maths rating}} template on the article's talk page. These articles should also be included on the list of Wikipedia:Vital articles.

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 = priority level |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also a vital parameter to categorize vital articles and a historical parameter to categorize articles with significant historical content.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.

Summary of {{maths rating}} importance, field, and class parameters
Importance: the importance (or priority) of the article/subject, regardless of its quality.		Field: the article's subject area within mathematics.	Class: the current quality of the article.
Top	Extremely important, even crucial, to its field, and very significant beyond it	general basics algebra analysis applied (includes numerical analysis) discrete foundations (includes logic and set theory) geometry mathematical physics number theory probability and statistics topology mathematicians	FA	This is a featured article.
High	Contributes a substantial depth of knowledge with significant impact in other fields		A	Essentially complete, well written and referenced; possible featured article candidate.
Mid	Adds important further details within its field, with some impact beyond it		GA	B+ quality, and also a good article.
Low	Contributes more specific or less significant details, or is mainly of specialist interest		A-BB+	Detailed, clear and accessible, often with history or images; possible good article nominee.
			B	A decent article, but it needs further editing to extend coverage or accessibility
			Start	Significant cleanup or expansion needed.
			Stub	Article has very little content, or is a stub.
