Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics/Wikipedia 1.0/Maths rating

To classify an article, place the template {{maths rating}} on the article's talk page. Anyone can add a maths rating or change an existing rating. The template can be used to assess the importance (or priority) and quality (or class grading) of the article using the importance and class parameters respectively. Specifying these parameters will place the article in the appropriate subcategory of Category:Mathematics articles by priority and Category:Mathematics articles by quality. There is also a field parameter to define the subject area of the article.

The full syntax of the maths rating template is:

{{maths rating 
 |small=
 |class=
 |priority=
 |field=
 |historical=
 |vital=
 |portal=
 |frequentlyviewed= (not for manual use, see below)
 |ACD= 
 }} 

• small=yes can be used when a page has lots of templates, producing a more compact version. Any other value for small parameter is ignored, and the standard template results.
• class must be one of:

  FA (for Featured Articles only)

  A (for A-class articles only)

  GA (for Good Articles only)

  B

  C

  Start

  Stub

  List

• priority must be one of:

  Top

  High

  Mid

  Low

  NA (for non-articles only)

The synonym importance is also available for the priority parameter; it is identical except that where the template displays importance instead of priority in the places priority is displayed when priority is used.

• field must be one of:

  general (information about mathematics not related to a particular field)

  basics (elementary material and terms used throughout mathematics)

  analysis

  algebra

  geometry

  applied

  probability and statistics

  number theory

  discrete

  foundations (logic and set theory)

  mathematical physics

  topology

  history (see the "historical" parameter below)

  mathematicians

• the historical parameter, if nonempty, places the article in Category:History of subject mathematics articles. It is recommended to use this parameter instead of the history field. In particular, this allows a historical article to be assigned another field.
• the vital parameter, if nonempty, places the article in Category:Vital mathematics articles. However, this should be coordinated with the list of Wikipedia:vital articles.
• the ACD parameter, if nonempty, places a notice that the article has been nominated for the A-class quality rating.
• the frequentlyviewed parameter is used to mark the 500 most frequently viewed articles, based on collected data. This marking is done via a bot, and the frequentlyviewed parameter should not be added manually.
• the portal parameter is used to mark articles featured on the math portal. A list of such articles can be found at this archive. If nonempty, this places the article in Category:Featured articles on Mathematics Portal.

Comments may be left in the /Comments subpage of the article talk page (for example, Talk:Riemann hypothesis/Comments). These brief comments usually contain suggestions on how the article could be improved to bring it up to the next grade. It is helpful to at least put ~~~~ as a comment, so that the date of the rating can easily be seen. Comments may be viewed and edited by following the "Comments" link on the template.

If either class or priority is missing, then the article will be placed in Category:Unassessed mathematics articles or Category:Unassessed-Priority mathematics articles respectively. If field is missing, then the article will be placed in Category:Unassessed field mathematics articles.
