This category contains Dungeons & Dragons articles graded according to the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale. If you would like to help grade them, please visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons#Article grading. Do not put items in this category. Put them in the appropriate category by adding or editing the articles {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons}} Talk page tag, as follows:

  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=FA }}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=A }}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=GA }}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=B }}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=Start }}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=Stub }}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=NA }}

  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=Cat }}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=Redirect }}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=Template}}
  • {{WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons| class=Disambig }}

Note: You should not assign any article GA or FA grades arbitrarily. These grades must pass through official Wikipedia channels. These labels refer to this grading scheme:

Article quality assessment scheme
Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience Example
FA
{{FA-Class}}
Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status after peer review, and meet the current criteria for featured articles. Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information. No further editing necessary, unless new published information has come to light. Dungeons & Dragons
A
{{A-Class}}
Provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a great article. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, with a well-written introduction and an appropriate series of headings to break up the content. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from the "hard" (peer-reviewed where appropriate) literature rather than websites. Should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. At the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status, corresponds to the "Wikipedia 1.0" standard.

The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere.

Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points. Minor edits and adjustments would improve the article, particularly if brought to bear by a subject-matter expert. In particular, issues of breadth, completeness, and balance may need work. Peer-review would be helpful at this stage. None; assessment not really being used right now
GA
{{GA-Class}}
The article has passed through the Good article nomination process and been granted GA status, meeting the good article standards. This should be used for articles that still need some work to reach featured article standards, but that are otherwise good. Good articles that may succeed in FAC should be considered A-Class articles, but being a Good article is not a requirement for A-Class. Useful to nearly all readers. A good treatment of the subject. No obvious problems, gaps, excessive information. Adequate for most purposes, but other encyclopedias could do a better job. Some editing will clearly be helpful, but not necessary for a good reader experience. If the article is not already fully wikified, now is the time. Drizzt Do'Urden
B
{{B-Class}}
Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a completed article. Nonetheless, it has significant gaps or missing elements or references, needs substantial editing for English language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, NPOV or NOR. With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Wikipedia 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles. See below for information on the B-class criteria. Useful to many, but not all, readers. A casual reader flipping through articles would feel that they generally understood the topic, but a serious student or researcher trying to use the material would have trouble doing so, or would risk error in derivative work. Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors. Articles for which cleanup is needed will typically have this designation to start with. Minsc
C
{{C-Class}}
The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial cleanup. Hag Countess
Start
{{Start-Class}}
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a key element such as a standard infobox. For example an article on Africa might cover the geography well, but be weak on history and culture. Has at least one serious element of gathered materials, including any one of the following:
  • a particularly useful picture or graphic
  • multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
  • a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
  • multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article
Useful to some, provides a moderate amount of information, but many readers will need to find additional sources of information. The article clearly needs to be expanded. Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article still needs to be completed, so an article cleanup tag is inappropriate at this stage. Aboleth
Stub
{{Stub-Class}}
The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible. Possibly useful to someone who has no idea what the term meant. May be useless to a reader only passingly familiar with the term. At best a brief, informed dictionary definition. Any editing or additional material can be helpful. Martial Power
FL
{{FL-Class}}
This page is a featured list. An excellent and complete list. There's probably not much need to further edit a featured list unless new material is made available which should be added to it. This project needs a featured list!
List
{{List-Class}}
This page is a list.     List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters
Category
{{Cat-Class}}
This page is a category related to WikiProject D&D.     Category:Forgotten Realms books
Disambig
{{Disambig-Class}}
This page is a disambiguation page related to WikiProject D&D.     Dungeon Master (disambiguation)
File
{{Image-Class}}
This page is a file or image related to WikiProject D&D.   Image-class is used for all files, not just images. File:CM8 The Endless Stair.jpg
Needed
{{Needed-Class}}
This page has never been an article, but a redirect to another article. However, an article should be created in place of the current redirect at some point in the future.     None right now
Portal
{{Portal-Class}}
This page is a portal or nesseccary for the functioning of a portal. At this point in time, the only D&D-related portal is the Dragonlance Portal, although hopefully there will be others in the future.     Portal:Dragonlance/Did you know
Project
{{Project-Class}}
This page relates to the functioning of the WikiProject and is not an article.     Wikipedia:WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons/Participants
Redirect
{{Redirect-Class}}
This page is a redirect in the article namespace. Redirects in other namespaces should be assessed as part of their namespace (for example, a redirect to a template should be assessed as a template). The only redirects that should be assessed are those which have an edit history containing non-redirect material, so that the content can more easily be found and restored. Redirects which should be made into full articles in their own right should be assessed as Needed-Class.     4dventure
Template
{{Template-Class}}
This page is a template related to WikiProject D&D.     Template:D&D navbox
NA
{{NA-Class}}
"NA" should not be used as an assessment; any pages that have no class because they aren't articles should instead be assessed with another assessment such as Template, Project, or Category.     Hopefully none!
Unassessed
{{Unassessed-Class}}
This page has not yet been assessed!     Hopefully none!
