 |class=
 |importance=
 |needs-infobox=
}}

Quality assessment

The first table below gives a brief description of possible quality scale values. Before assigning any article to a class, please take a few moments and read the full description of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team's Assessment system.

An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Somaliland}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA	(for featured articles only; adds them to the FA-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		File:Featured article star.svg FA
FL	(for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		File:Featured article star.svg FL
A	(for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		File:Symbol a class.svg A
GA	(for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		File:Symbol support vote.svg GA
B	(for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		B
C	(for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		C
Start	(for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		Start
Stub	(for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		Stub
List	(for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		List
NA	(for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class WikiProject Somaliland pages category)		NA
???	(articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed WikiProject Somaliland articles category)		???

For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:

Category	(for categories; adds them to the Category-Class WikiProject Somaliland pages category)		Category
Draft	(for drafts; adds them to the Draft-Class WikiProject Somaliland pages category)		Draft
File	(for files and timed text; adds them to the File-Class WikiProject Somaliland pages category)		File
Portal	(for portal pages; adds them to the Portal-Class WikiProject Somaliland pages category)		Portal
Project	(for project pages; adds them to the Project-Class WikiProject Somaliland pages category)		Project
Template	(for templates and modules; adds them to the Template-Class WikiProject Somaliland pages category)		Template

The following non-standard assessment grades for mainspace content may be used at a WikiProject's discretion:

Disambig	(for disambiguation pages; adds them to the Disambig-Class WikiProject Somaliland pages category)		Disambig

Importance assessment

Each article may also be assigned a particular importance.

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Somaliland}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Somaliland|importance=???}}

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance WikiProject Somaliland articles)		Top
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance WikiProject Somaliland articles)		High
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance WikiProject Somaliland articles)		Mid
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance WikiProject Somaliland articles)		Low
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance WikiProject Somaliland articles)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance WikiProject Somaliland articles)		???

Optional parameters

• needs-infobox – set |needs-infobox=yes if the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles.
  • This parameter populates Category:Somaliland articles needing infoboxes.
• category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
• listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for first name last name, use |listas=Last name, first name so that the talk page will show up in the L's and not the f's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
  If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
