Template:Quality scale

Class	Criteria	Reader's experience	Editing suggestions
FB	The page is at the level one would expect in a featured book. More detailed criteria The page meets the featured book criteria: Consistently conforms to WB:WIW, WB:NPOV, and WB:NP. Has an appropriate and consistent definition (target audience, scope, and style). All current organizational systems are properly and appropriately used. Accurate, comprehensive, and concise enough to effectively teach and learn from in its current state. Has a table of contents and sufficient page navigational aids. Free of major issues, like reorganization, orphaned or missing material, copyright violations, deletion, unmaintained, and unresolved disputes.	Professional, outstanding, and thorough; a definitive source for information on the subject.	No further content additions should be necessary unless new information becomes available; further improvements to the prose quality are often possible.

Category	Any category falls under this classification.	Categories are mainly used to group together books within a particular subject area.	Large subject categories may need to be split into one or more subcategories. Be wary of books that have been misfiled.
Shelf	Any shelf in the stacks falls under this classification.	Shelves are intended to serve as "main pages" for specific topics.	Editor involvement is essential to ensure that shelves are kept up to date.
Project	All WikiProject-related pages fall under this classification.	Project pages are intended to aid editors in book development, and are probably not useful to readers.	Develop these pages into collaborative resources useful for improving books within the project.
Template	Any template falls under this classification. The most common type of template includes navigation templates.	Different types of template serve different purposes. Navigation templates assist the user in navigating between pages in a book.	Navigation templates are typically placed at the bottom and possibly the top of a page.
NB	Any non-book page that fits no other classification.	The page contains no book content, and is probably not useful to any casual reader.	Look out for mis-classified pages.

Usage instructions

• The code below is for customizing the template for a specific WikiProject. Parameters for the standard quality classes need to be filled in, but will default to empty if not supplied.
• Specifying the topic parameter will link the classification labels to the appropriate quality category in the format "X-quality topic pages".
• The rows for Category, Shelf, Project, and Template classifications are optional but will be displayed unless |quality=standard is specified.
• Filling in the X_detail parameter will add a drop-down box to the criteria column, permitting additional information to be added.
• The FB, Category, Shelf, Project, Template, and NB classifications, if used, can have the default information overridden with |X_criteria=, |X_detail=, |X_reader=, and |X_suggestion=

• Copy and paste:
