== Assessment ==
To assess articles, use the [[Template:WikiProject Genealogy|WikiProject Genealogy banner]] on the article's talk page.
*Under class, give the article a quality rating: FA, FL, A, GA, B, C, Start, Stub, List, or NA

*Under priority, give the article a priority/importance rating: Top, High, Mid, Low

For example, a good article of high importance will use this code:

<pre>{{WikiProject Genealogy |class=GA |priority=high }}</pre>

*[[:Category:Genealogy articles by quality|Genealogy articles by quality]]
*[[:Category:Genealogy articles by importance|Genealogy articles by importance]]

=== Importance scale ===

'''Priority must be regarded as a ''relative'' term.'''  If priority values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance ''to this project''.  An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may  be only "Mid-Class" in another project. The criteria used for rating article priority are '''not''' meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is.  Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the ''average'' reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it).
