Assessment
{{WikiProject Marine life}} is also used as a way of assessing articles. You should supply the correct assessment when you add this template to a talk page.
- class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, na (case-insensitive). See the project's quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave
|class=blank or omit the parameter.
An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Marine life}} 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 (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
| FA | (for featured articles only; adds them to the FA-Class Marine life articles category) |  FA |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| FL | (for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class Marine life articles category) | FL |
|
| A | (for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class Marine life articles category) |  A |
|
| GA | (for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class Marine life articles category) |  GA |
|
| B | (for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class Marine life articles category) | B | |
| C | (for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class Marine life articles category) | C | |
| Start | (for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class Marine life articles category) | Start | |
| Stub | (for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class Marine life articles category) | Stub | |
| List | (for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class Marine life articles category) | List | |

- importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the project's importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave
|importance=blank or omit the parameter.
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Marine life}} project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Marine life|importance=???}}
The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):
| Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Marine life articles) | Top | |
| High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Marine life articles) | High | |
| Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Marine life articles) | Mid | |
| Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Marine life articles) | Low | |
| NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance Marine life articles) | NA | |
| ??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Marine life articles) | ??? |
- assessed – set
|assessed=yesif the page has been assessed by editors of the WikiProject.
- COTM-nom – set
|COTM-nom=yesif the page is a candidate to be the project collaboration. - COTM – set
|COTM=yesif the page is currently the project collaboration. - COTM-old – set
|COTM-old=yes(or any non-blank value other than "no", "n", "0" or "¬", such as the dates it was part of the collaboration) if the page was a past project collaboration. - listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Jacques Cousteau, use
|listas=Cousteau, Jacquesso that the talk page will show up in the C's and not the J's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add|listas=to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required. - merge – set
|merge=yesif the possible merging of the page has been discussed by editors of the WikiProject. - needs-image – set
|needs-image=yesto request that a picture or pictures be included in the page to improve its quality.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of marine life.
- needs-taxobox – set
|needs-taxobox=yesto request that a taxobox be included in the page to improve its quality.- This parameter populates Category:Missing taxobox.
- category – set
|category=noif, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
