This is the {{maths rating}} template which is used to categorize and assess articles within the mathematics WikiProject.

Mathematics Portal

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Mathematics, which collaborates on articles related to mathematics.

Mathematics rating:

Quality unassessed.

Importance unassessed.

Field unassessed.

Please update this rating as the article progresses, or if the rating is inaccurate.

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 importance 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 
 |nested=
 |small=
 |class=
 |importance=
 |field=
 |historical=
 |vital=
 |comment= (deprecated, see below for how to add comments)
 |frequentlyviewed= (not for manual use, see below)
 |ACD= 
 }}

nested=yes can be used when nested with other compliant projects inside a {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}
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)

Bplus

B

Start

Stub

Dab (mathematical disambiguation pages)

Cat (mathematics categories)

Image (mathematics images)

Template (mathematics templates)
importance must be one of:

Top

High

Mid

Low

NA (for non-articles only)

The synonym priority is also available for the importance parameter.

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.

Comments may be left in the /Comments subpage of the article talk page (for example, Talk:Abacus/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 can be added by following the "Add comments" link on the template, and may edited by following the "Comments" link on the template.

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

[edit] Summary and assessment criteria

Summary of {{maths rating}} importance, field, and class parameters
Importance: the importance (or priority) of the article/subject, regardless of its quality.		Field: the article's subject area within mathematics.	Class: the current quality of the article.
Top	Extremely important, even crucial, to its field, and very significant beyond it	general basics algebra analysis applied (includes numerical analysis) discrete foundations (includes logic and set theory) geometry mathematical physics number theory probability and statistics topology mathematicians	FA	This is a featured article.
High	Contributes a substantial depth of knowledge with significant impact in other fields		A	Essentially complete, well written and referenced; possible featured article candidate.
Mid	Adds important further details within its field, with some impact beyond it		GA	B+ quality, and also a good article.
Low	Contributes more specific or less significant details, or is mainly of specialist interest		A-BB+	Detailed, clear and accessible, often with history or images; possible good article nominee.
			B	A decent article, but it needs further editing to extend coverage or accessibility
			Start	Significant cleanup or expansion needed.
			Stub	Article has very little content, or is a stub.
