Usage

This template is used to categorize and assess articles within WikiProject Mathematics. To classify an article, place the template {{maths rating}} on the article's talk page and fill in the class and priority parameters.

Please do not simply add this template without filling in the parameters. The purpose of this template is to carry article assessment data.

Anyone can add a maths rating or change an existing rating. These parameters will place the article in the appropriate subcategories of Category:Mathematics articles by priority and Category:Mathematics articles by quality.

Syntax overview

When using the maths rating template, please set each of the three following parameters:

  • Class: choose one: FA, FL, GA, A, B, C, Start, Stub, List, e.g. |class=B
  • Priority: choose one: Top, High, Mid, Low, e.g. |priority=high

The following parameters are also available. In general, if you don't know what they mean then you don't need them.

  • |vital=Y for an article that is in the Vital articles collection.
  • |portal=Y for an article that is a selected article on Portal:Mathematics.
  • |category=no if the template is being used as a demonstration and you do not want the page it is on to be added to any categories.

Standard template syntax

{{maths rating
| class=            <!--FA, FL, GA, A, B, Start, Stub, List-->
| priority =        <!--Top, High, Mid, Low-->
<!--optional or special purpose-->
| vital=            <!--set to Y for articles that are in the Vital articles collection; be sure of consensus before setting-->
| portal=           <!--set to Y to place the article in Category:Featured articles on Mathematics Portal-->
| category=         <!--set to "no" to prevent the template from adding categories to a page-->
}}

Syntax details

The main purpose of this template is to show the classifications of articles on their talk pages, as well as to place talk pages in the appropriate categories. Only the first three parameters are required for this. However, other flags can be used to show additional information and categorize the page further.

The template also supports a importance parameter which functions identically to priority except for where the template displays the word 'priority' it will instead say 'importance.' Beyond that, there is no reason to use one over the other and no reason to use both together. If they are both used, the importance parameter will be ignored. If the priority parameter is set to blank - if |priority= appears with no argument - then the code considers this a use of priority and ignores importance, except when assigning categories.
