An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WP Algae}} project banner on its talk page

{{WP Algae| ... | class=??? | importance=??? | plants-importance=??? | ...}}

The following values may be used for the class parameter:

• FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Algae articles)
• A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Algae articles)
• GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Algae articles)
• B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Algae articles)
• Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Algae articles)
• Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Algae articles)
• NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Algae articles)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Algae articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:

• Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Algae articles)
• High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Algae articles)
• Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Algae articles)
• Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Algae articles)

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases, this adds articles to Category:Unknown-importance Algae articles. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

The criteria used for rating article importance 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). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of algae.

Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.
