Welcome to WikiProject British crime.
Purpose
To organise and generally improve all pages relating to British crime. This would bring up to date a lot of media attention articles and some high-profile British crimes without pages.
Additionally, this would help to categorize the British crimes more effectively.
If you are in any way interested in starting or joining in this project, please add your name below.
Templates used by the project include:
- {{tl|User WikiProject British crime}}, a userbox which can be added to member user pages as a shortcut to this project page.
- {{tl|WP British crime}} (or {{tl|Uk-crime}}), a project banner which can be added to the top of the talk pages of related articles.
- {{tl|WP British Crime Invitation}}, a formal invitation to members who contributed and/or are interested in British crime related subjects.

Article assessment
- The {{tl|WP British crime}} (or {{tl|Uk-crime}}) template has a class= parameter that provides an article assessment rating:
;
The following values may be used for the parameter. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:
- FA (adds articles to :Category:FA-Class British crime-related articles)
- A (adds articles to :Category:A-Class British crime-related articles)
- GA (adds articles to :Category:GA-Class British crime-related articles)
- B (adds articles to :Category:B-Class British crime-related articles)
- C (adds articles to :Category:C-Class British crime-related articles)
- Start (adds articles to :Category:Start-Class British crime-related articles)
- Stub (adds articles to :Category:Stub-Class British crime-related articles)
- FL (adds articles to :Category:FL-Class British crime-related articles)
- List (adds articles to :Category:List-Class British crime-related articles)
- NA (for pages where assessment is unnecessary, such as templates; adds items to :Category:Non-article British crime-related pages)
If a rating is not assigned, the article will be filed in :Category:Unassessed British crime-related articles. The class should be assigned according to the grading scheme. A list of Unassessed and In dispute articles can be discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject British crime/Assessment.
