{{Shortcut|DF:Q}}

For a period of time, all articles ranked using the "Rate" link at the top of the page were given the timestamp "08:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)" due to a bug. These pages are in [[:Category:Quality ranks with bad timestamps]] and should be rerated.

==Ratings==
In order to rate articles, click the "rate" tab when on the page you wish to rank, then fill out the form in order to suggest an appropriate rating. If you feel the suggested rating is incorrect, you may override it and force a specific rating.

There are 5 official ratings (plus an additional "unknown" for any manually applied ratings which do not match), all described below.

===Unknown===
[[:Category:Unknown Quality Articles|Unknown Quality Articles]] have been tagged with a quality level not recognized by the wiki, whether accidentally (incorrect spelling or capitalization) or intentionally (to request that somebody else rate the article).

If you encounter these, please evaluate and rate them according to the criteria below. Note that in some cases, a page may get an error when attempting to give them a proper rating, such as a "template loop" error.

===Tattered===
[[:Category:Tattered Quality Articles|Tattered Quality Articles]] have many of the following characteristics:
* May be a stub article
* Lacks information
* Contains inaccurate information
* Is not categorized

This rating should only be used for articles that strictly need improvement. For example, pages for creatures, vermin, or stone types should '''not''' be rated as Tattered unless they are missing key components: infobox, description (creatures/vermin only), raws, and navigation box.

===Fine===
[[:Category:Fine Quality Articles|Fine Quality Articles]] have many of the following characteristics:
* Has a substantial number of redlinks, very few links or no links at all
* Contains little to no inaccurate information
* Contains some information that needs to be verified
Pages which are entirely auto-generated from the raws should be rated Fine.

===Superior===
[[:Category:Superior Quality Articles|Superior Quality Articles]] have most of the following characteristics:
* No important information is missing (includes templates/infoboxes, obvious facts, etc.) 
** May be missing some less-important information 
* Has a sufficient number of links
* Has very few red links
* Includes all standard templates
** Templates are completed when necessary (including butchering returns for creatures, labors for workshops, etc.)
* Is properly categorized

===Exceptional===
[[:Category:Exceptional Quality Articles|Exceptional Quality Articles]] have ALL of the following characteristics:
* Is properly categorized
* Has a decent amount of information (is "complete" for the purposes of new players looking for information)
* Has all appropriate templates
* DOES NOT have any pink text at the bottom of the Article Version template (these indicate some kind of problem; for details, view the [[Template:ArticleVersion]] page)
* Is properly/sufficiently linked to other articles
* Contains no inaccurate information, but may have a small amount of information that needs to be completely verified.
* Has multiple editors

===Masterwork===
[[:Category:Masterwork Quality Articles|Masterwork Quality Articles]] are the best of the best. We do not expect all articles to reach this quality; in fact, the guidelines for this quality are set so that most articles are actually incapable of ever reaching this high mark.  Masterwork quality articles have ALL of the following characteristics:
* Covers an important "must-read" topic
* Is comprehensive on the subject
* Contains no unverified information
* Has an appropriate number of outbound links
* No redlinks are present
* Article is aesthetically pleasing
* Is properly categorized
* Has multiple editors
