Quality Template Problems
Quality templates should include a timestamp to let us gauge how old a rating is. Quality ratings that do not have proper timestamps are in Category:Quality ranks without proper timestamps. Quality templates that were placed more than 10 weeks ago (and thus should be re-ranked) are in Category:Quality ranks older than 10 weeks.
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 4 official ratings (plus an additional "unknown" for any manually applied ratings which do not match), all described below.
Unknown
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.
Tattered
Tattered Quality Articles have many of the following characteristics:
- May be a stub article
