Using the Template Assessment Parameters

[edit source]

The {{WPFISHING}} template also has variables to add in assessment data. You may use either of the following examples with the template: 

{{WPFISHING|class=|importance=}}

or 

{{WP:FISHING
|class=
|importance=
}}

The arguments passed through the template are class and importance. They may be the following:

Class

[edit source]
FA=Featured Article (See Below)
A=A-Class
GA=Good Article (See Below)
B=B-Class
Stub=Stub-Class
Start=Start-Class

Importance

[edit source]
Top = Top Importance
High = High Importance
Mid = Middle Importance
Low = Low Importance
NB Generally, the Importance of an article is not related to the current Class of the article, nor its current state of editing. "Importance" refers to how the average person seeking knowledge on Fishing-related articles would recognize the article's importance to Fishing in general. For example, a species that is listed in the FAO Fishery and Aquaculture Statistics Yearbook as commercially fished should be ranked at least Mid.
Example: If you wanted to rate an article as a Good Article of Middle Importance, the code is: 
{{WP:FISHING|class=GA|importance=Mid}}

Adding Ratings

[edit source]

The following values may be used for the class parameter:

Please note that FA-Class article designation means this is a Featured Article. Featured Articles are determined by the Featured Article Candidates process. Editors and Fishing assessment team members should not rate articles FA-Class, but rather propose articles to the Featured Article candidate process.
A-Class articles are at the pinnacle of Fishing Assessment team evaluation. An A-Class article may be one heading towards FA-status, or be better than B-Class but not obtained the GA or FA ratings from their respective evaluation teams.
Please note that GA-Class articles are Good Articles, determined by the Good Articles WikiProject team. GA-Class should not be assigned by editors or Fishing Assessment team members, but rather propose articles to
B-Class Fishing Articles are ones which possess more material that Start- or Stub- class articles, but need further polishing and work to bring them up to GA, A, or FA-Class status.
This is used for either a) Places where the template exists outside of the Article Talk namespaces, or b) Rating has not yet been made by an editor or the Fishing Project Assessment Team. Not specifying the parameter defaults the rating Unassessed.

WikiProject content quality grading scheme
Class Criteria Reader's experience Editing suggestions Example
File:Featured article star.svg FA The article has attained featured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured article candidates.
More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured article criteria:{{Wikipedia:Featured article criteria}}
 Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. Cleopatra
(as of June 2018)
File:Featured article star.svg FL The article has attained featured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers from WP:Featured list candidates.
More detailed criteria
The article meets the featured list criteria:{{Wikipedia:Featured list criteria}}
 Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events
(as of May 2018)
File:Symbol a class.svg A The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class.
More detailed criteria
The article meets the A-Class criteria:
{{Wikipedia:Content assessment/A-Class criteria|raw=yes}}
 Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. WP:Peer review may help. Fishing as of July 2007.
File:Symbol support vote.svg GA The article meets all of the good article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from WP:Good article nominations.
More detailed criteria
{{Wikipedia:Good article criteria}}
 Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing featured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. Everybody Wants to Rule the World
(as of October 2025)
B The article meets all of the B-Class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards.
More detailed criteria
{{Wikipedia:Content assessment/B-Class criteria|raw=yes}}
 Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the Manual of Style and related style guidelines. Fishery as of July 2007.
C The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup.
More detailed criteria
The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow.
 Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems. Wing
(as of June 2018)
Start An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources.
More detailed criteria
The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
  • A 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
 Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. Providing references to reliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Improve the grammar, spelling, and writing style; decrease the use of jargon. Maggot as of July 2007.
Stub A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria. Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class Article to step up to a Start-class Article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. Spoonplug as of July 2007.
List Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list or set index article, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. List of literary movements
