Welcome to the assessment page forWikiProject Engineering.
|class=B in the banner. Again, the "FA" and "GA" labels should not be added to articles unless are currently designated as such.Any member of Wikiproject Engineering are invited to rate articles for the project. Articles with unassessed quality can be found atCategory:Unassessed Engineering articles and articles with unassessed importance ratings can be found atCategory:Unknown-importance Engineering articles
For example adding {{WikiProject Engineering|class=B|importance=mid}} produces:
 | EngineeringMid‑importance | ||||||
| |||||||
An article's quality assessment is recorded using the|class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the{{WikiProject Engineering}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (seeWikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
| FA | (forfeatured articlesonly; adds them to theFA-Class Engineering articles category) | FA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| FL | (forfeatured listsonly; adds them to theFL-Class Engineering articles category) | FL | |
| A | (for articles that passed a formalpeer reviewonly; adds them to theA-Class Engineering articles category) | A | |
| GA | (forgood articlesonly; adds them to theGA-Class Engineering articles category) | GA | |
| B | (for articles that satisfy all of theB-Class criteria; adds them to theB-Class Engineering articles category) | B | |
| C | (for substantial articles; adds them to theC-Class Engineering articles category) | C | |
| Start | (for developing articles; adds them to theStart-Class Engineering articles category) | Start | |
| Stub | (for basic articles; adds them to theStub-Class Engineering articles category) | Stub | |
| List | (forstand-alone lists; adds them to theList-Class Engineering articles category) | List | |
| NA | (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to theNA-Class Engineering pages category) | NA | |
| ??? | (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in theUnassessed Engineering articles category) | ??? |
For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:
| Category | (forcategories; adds them to theCategory-Class Engineering pages category) | Category | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Draft | (fordrafts; adds them to theDraft-Class Engineering pages category) | Draft | |

This table is transcluded here, and is identical to the one atWikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment.
| Class | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editing suggestions | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FA | The article has attainedfeatured article status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers fromWP:Featured article candidates. More detailed criteria The article meets thefeatured article criteria: Afeatured article exemplifies Wikipedia's very best work and is distinguished by professional standards of writing, presentation, and sourcing. In addition to meeting thepolicies regarding content for all Wikipedia articles, it has the following attributes.
| Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for encyclopedic information. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | Cleopatra (as of June 2018) |
| FL | The article has attainedfeatured list status by passing an in-depth examination by impartial reviewers fromWP:Featured list candidates. More detailed criteria The article meets thefeatured list criteria:
| Professional standard; it comprehensively covers the defined scope, usually providing a complete set of items, and has annotations that provide useful and appropriate information about those items. | No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible. | List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events (as of May 2018) |
| A | The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by impartial reviewers from a WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class. More detailed criteria The article meets theA-Class criteria: Provides a well-written, clear and complete description of the topic, as described inWikipedia:Article development. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, appropriately structured, and be well referenced by a broad array of reliable sources. It should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. Only minor style issues and other details need to be addressed before submission as afeatured article candidate. See the A-Class assessment departments of some of the larger WikiProjects (e.g.WikiProject Military history). | Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting. | Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving.WP:Peer review may help. | Battle of Nam River (as of June 2014) |
| GA | The article meetsall of thegood article criteria, and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers fromWP:Good article nominations. More detailed criteria Agood article is:
| Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication. | Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existingfeatured article on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing. | Everybody Wants to Rule the World (as of October 2025) |
| B | The article meetsall of theB-Class criteria. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reachgood article standards. More detailed criteria
| Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher. | A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with theManual of Style and relatedstyle guidelines. | Psychology (as of January 2024) |
| C | The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantialcleanup. More detailed criteria The article cites more than one reliable source and is better developed in style, structure, and quality than Start-Class, but it fails one or more of the criteria for B-Class. It may have some gaps or missing elements, or need editing for clarity, balance, or flow. | Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study. | Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solvecleanup problems. | Wing (as of June 2018) |
| Start | An article that is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources. More detailed criteria The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas. The article has one or more of the following:
| Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more. | Providing references toreliable sources should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Improve the grammar, spelling, and writing style; decrease the use of jargon. | Gravel (as of January 2006) |
| Stub | A very basic description of the topic. Meets none of the Start-Class criteria. | Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant. | Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a Stub-class Article to step up to a Start-class Article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant. | Lineage (anthropology) (as of December 2014) |
| List | Meets the criteria of astand-alone list orset index article, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area. | There is no set format for a list, but its organization should be logical and useful to the reader. | Lists should be lists of live links to Wikipedia articles, appropriately named and organized. | List of literary movements |
An article's importance assessment is generated from theimportance parameter in the{{WikiProject Engineering}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for theimportance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (seeWikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):
| Top (adds articles toCategory:Top-importance Engineering articles) | Top | |
| High (adds articles toCategory:High-importance Engineering articles) | High | |
| Mid (adds articles toCategory:Mid-importance Engineering articles) | Mid | |
| Low (adds articles toCategory:Low-importance Engineering articles) | Low | |
| NA (adds articles toCategory:NA-importance Engineering articles) | NA | |
| ??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed inCategory:Unknown-importance Engineering articles) | ??? |
| Importance | Criteria | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Top | The article is about one of the core topics of Engineering as listed inCore topics - Technology. | Engineering |
| High | The article is about the basic technologies and infrastructures or the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of Engineering. | Aluminium alloy |
| Mid | The article is about a topic within Engineering that may or may not be commonly known outside the Engineering industry. | Air preheater |
| Low | The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within Engineering and is not generally common knowledge outside the Engineering industry. | Allam power cycle |
| NA | Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc. | Category:Engineering |
| ??? | Subject importance has not yet been assessed. |
