Rating Articles
editWhen tagging articles, the articles class and importance can be rated. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment for details on assessment guidelines.
- |class= |importance=
Class
editThe following values may be used for the class parameter:
- FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Australia articles)
- A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Australia articles)
- GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Australia articles)
- B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Australia articles)
- Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Australia articles)
- Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Australia articles)
- NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Australia pages)
Importance
editThe following values may be used for the importance parameter:
- Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Australia articles)
- In relation to exploration, articles with a Top rating will typically be the most notable explorers and expeditions in Australian history. ie James Cook, Burke and Wills
- High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Australia articles)
- Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Australia articles)
- Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Australia articles)
- In relation to exploration, articles with a Low rating will typically be the explorers and expeditions not well known in Australian history. The exploration may have been limited in scope, or performed by people to whom exploration was not their main occupation. Remember that another Australian project may deem the article of higher importance for non-exploration related reasons.
- The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA
