Importance scale
| Importance | Criteria | Example | 
|---|---|---|
| Top | This article is of the utmost importance to the project, as it provides key information about a major topic that is fundamental to a study of the subject. | Ralph Bakshi | 
| High | This article is very important to the project, as it covers either a general area of knowledge or provides information about a significant topic. | Matt Groening | 
| Mid | This article is relatively important to the project, as it provides more specific knowledge of areas that a serious reader would need to understand. | Yuriy Norshteyn | 
| Low | This article is significant but has limited importance to the project, as it expands the reader's overall knowledge of the subject into areas of general interest. | Bill Fagerbakke | 
| Bottom | This article has no real significance to the project, but it covers additional topics of general or specific interest, some of which could be described as trivia, though all are notable in their own right. Others may be articles of high importance to another project that have an indirect connection with Animation people. The category was created by the work group of WikiProject Animation to counter-balance "top importance" and to place "mid-importance" into the actual middle. In addition it serves to separate trivia from articles of low but significant importance. | N/A | 
| NA | Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc. | Category:Animation people | 
| ??? | Subject importance has not yet been assessed. | ??? | 
Categories
Recognized content
| This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged or categorized (e.g. Category:Animation people work group articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options. |
