| style="font-size:90%" rowspan=2 | Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information.

| style="font-size:90%" rowspan=2 | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible.

| {{A-Class|category=Category:A-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|A-Class}}

| The article is well organized and is essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere, as described here.

{{grading scheme/table|{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/A-Class criteria}} }}

| style="font-size:90%" | Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting.

| style="font-size:90%" | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style issues may need addressing. Peer-review may help.

| {{GA-Class|category=Category:GA-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|GA-Class}}

| The article has obtained Good article status.

{{grading scheme/table|The article must meet the good article criteria:

{{Wikipedia:Good article criteria}} }}

| style="font-size:90%" | Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (although not equalling) the quality of a professional encyclopedia.

| style="font-size:90%" | 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.

| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | {{#if:{{{GA_example|}}}|{{{GA_example}}}|[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=102210806 International Space Station]
(as of February 2007)}}

|-

| {{B-Class|category=Category:B-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|B-Class}}

| The article is mostly complete and without major issues, but requires some further work to reach Good Article standards. B-Class articles should meet the six B-Class criteria:

{{grading scheme/table|{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria|raw=yes}} }}

| style="font-size:90%" | No reader should be left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher.

| style="font-size:90%" | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed, and expert knowledge is increasingly needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should also be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the manual of style.

| style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" | {{#if:{{{B_example|}}}|{{{B_example}}}|[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jammu_and_Kashmir&oldid=165504269 Jammu and Kashmir]
(as of October 2007)}}

|-

| {{C-Class|category=Category:C-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|C-Class}}

| The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains a lot of irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant issues or require substantial cleanup.

{{grading scheme/table|The article is better developed in style, structure and quality than Start-Class, but fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements; need editing for clarity, balance or flow; or contain policy violations such as bias or trivia. Articles on fictional topics are likely to be marked as C-Class if they are written from an in-universe perspective. }}

| style="font-size:90%" | Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study.

| style="font-size:90%" | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and address cleanup issues.

(as of June 2008)}}

|-

| {{Start-Class|category=Category:Start-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|Start-Class}}

| An article that is developing, but which is quite incomplete and, most notably, lacks adequate reliable sources.

{{grading scheme/table|The article has a usable amount of good content, but it is weak in many areas, usually in referencing. Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and MoS compliance non-existent; but the article should satisfy fundamental content policies such as notability and BLP, and provide enough sources to establish verifiability. No Start-Class article should be in any danger of being speedily deleted.}}

| style="font-size:90%" | Provides some meaningful content, but the majority of readers will need more.

| style="font-size:90%" | Provision of references to reliable sources should be prioritised; the article will also need substantial improvements in content and organisation.

(as of November 2006)}}

|-

| {{Stub-Class|category=Category:Stub-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|Stub-Class}}

| A very basic description of the topic.

{{grading scheme/table|The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to become a meaningful article. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible. }}

| style="font-size:90%" | Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition

| style="font-size:90%" | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority.

{{#ifeq:{{{List_cat|}}}|yes|

{{!}} {{List-Class|category=Category:List-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|List-Class}}

{{!}} Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list, which is an article that contains primarily a list.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%" {{!}} There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%" {{!}} Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" {{!}} {{#if:{{{List_example|}}}|{{{List_example}}}|[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_aikidoka&oldid=139316446 List of aikidoka] (as of June 2007)}}

}}{{#ifeq:{{{Template_cat|}}}|yes|

{{!}} {{Template-Class|category=Category:Template-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|Template-Class}}

{{!}} Is any type of template. The most common types of template used in the WikiProject are infoboxes and navboxes.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%" {{!}} Serves different purposes depending upon the type of template. Infoboxes go at the upper right of a page and are a way of providing easy access to important pieces of introductory infomation about the subject. Navboxes normally go across the very bottom of a page, and are for the purpose of uniting a group of related articles into an easily accessible format for inclusion on every page listed in the navbox.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%" {{!}} Beware of too many different templates, as well as templates that give either too little, too much, or too specialized information.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" {{!}} {{#if:{{{Template_example|}}}|{{{Template_example}}}|[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Martial_arts&oldid=140786288 Template:Martial arts] (as of June 2007)}}

}}{{#ifeq:{{{Dab_cat|}}}|yes|

{{!}} {{Dab-Class|category=Category:Disambig-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|Dab-Class}}

{{!}} Is any disambiguation page.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%" {{!}} Serves to distinguish article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%" {{!}} Pay particular attention to the proper naming of disambiguation articles, they often do not need (disambiguation) appended to the title.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%; text-align:center;" {{!}} {{#if:{{{Dab_example|}}}|{{{Dab_example}}}|[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crane_%28martial_arts%29&oldid=115309468 Crane (martial arts)] (as of June 2007)}}

}}{{#ifeq:{{{Cat_cat|}}}|yes|

{{!}} {{Cat-Class|category=Category:Category-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|Cat-Class}}

{{!}} Is any category.

}}{{#ifeq:{{{Portal_cat|}}}|yes|

{{!}} {{Portal-Class|category=Category:Portal-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|Portal-Class}}

{{!}} Is any page in the portal namespace.

{{!}}

}}{{#ifeq:{{{NA_cat|}}}|yes|

{{!}} {{NA-Class|category=Category:NA-Class {{#if:{{{Project|}}}|{{{Project}}}}} articles}}
{{tl|NA-Class}}

{{!}} Is not an article, and fits no other classification.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%" {{!}} Probably not useful to any casual reader, these are typically only WikiProject pages or a Portal.

{{!}} style="font-size:90%" {{!}} Look out for mis-classified articles. Currently many NA-class articles need to be re-classified.
