Setting the parameter |small=yes creates a more compact, right-aligned version. See Talk:Popora people for an example.

[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 Zimbabwe articles.

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

**Class parameter values** (Category:Zimbabwe articles by quality)
Value	Meaning	Category
FA	Articles which are currently Featured status articles.	FA-Class Zimbabwe articles
A	A-class articles.	A-Class Zimbabwe articles
GA	Articles with a current Good article status.	GA-Class Zimbabwe articles
B	B-class articles.	B-Class Zimbabwe articles
Start	Start-class articles.	Start-Class Zimbabwe articles
Stub	Stub-class articles.	Stub-Class Zimbabwe articles
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 Zimbabwe pages

**Non article class parameter values** (Also Category:Non-article Zimbabwe-related pages)
Value	Meaning	Category
List	For lists.	List-Class Zimbabwe articles
Template	For templates.	Template-Class Zimbabwe articles
Category	For categories.	Category-Class Zimbabwe articles
Disambig	For disambiguation pages.	Disambig-Class Zimbabwe articles
Image	For images located on Wikipedia (NOT the ones on Commons).	Image-Class Zimbabwe articles
Portal	For portal pages.	Portal-Class Zimbabwe articles

[edit] Importance scale

Each article may also be assigned a particular importance; for Zimbabwe related articles, we make a ver simple use of this. Articles for which a valid importance has not yet been provided are listed by default in Category:Unknown-importance Zimbabwe articles.

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

**Class parameter values** (Category:Zimbabwe articles by importance)
Value	Meaning	Category
Top	Major, broad articles like cities, mayor topics, or important people.	Top-importance Zimbabwe articles
High	All actual articles on the history of any Zimbabwe-related topic. Also articles about ethnic groups in Zimbabwe.	High-importance Zimbabwe articles
Mid	Other articles that are likely to be of general interest (for example, an article about the theatrical traditions of Zimbabwe).	Mid-importance Zimbabwe articles
Low	Articles that are not about Zimbabwe and are not likely to be of general interest (for example, a building that houses an organization); also disambiguation pages, which do not require an assessment.	Low-importance Zimbabwe articles

Anyway, exceptions can be considered if necessary.

[edit] Other template parameters

**The following should be used only on articles** (Not for other pages)
