== Templates ==
Any templates used by or applicable to the project. (Project banner, infoboxes, navboxes, userboxes, barnstars).
===Tagging articles===
Specifying the article class quality (e.g. stub, start, b, etc..) and the importance (e.g. top, high, mid, low) will help us keep track of articles that need the most improvement.
===Stub sorting===
These templates can be placed at the end of articles to help categorize articles that need some work. 'Stubs' are articles that have just a few sentences and need expansion.
===Barnstar===
An award that can be placed at another user's talk for improving articles.

=== Assessment ===
Adopted from [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology/Statistics|WikiProject Molecular and Cell Biology]] statistics page.
The standard system on wikipedia is for each article to be assigned two grades: one for completeness and another for significance. These grades as assigned to talk page. If you have improved an article, you may adjust the entry in the template yourself, or you may simply put a remark in the talk page that improvements have been done.
=== Quality scale ===
Class is determined by how well written an article is based on completeness, clarity and referencing. Articles typically are slowly improved up the levels until they reach '''A-Class''', at which point they go through a more thorough review process with strict criteria to become [[WP:GA|Good Articles]] ('''GA''') and [[WP:FA|Featured Articles]] ('''FA''').
* '''''FA''''' — Among the [[WP:FA|best articles]] that Wikipedia has to offer. These articles have been through an extensive [[WP:FAC|review process]] to meet the [[WP:FACR|highest standards]].
* '''''GA''''' — Articles that have been [[WP:GAC|reviewed]] and meet the [[WP:GACR|good article standards]].
* '''''A''''' — Excellent articles of a length suitable for the subject that provide a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic.
* '''''B''''' — Articles that contain most of the necessary material but have significant gaps, missing elements or references.
* '''''C''''' — Articles that are missing important content, contains irrelevant material, or are poorly referenced.
* '''''Start''''' — Articles that have a meaningful amount of good content, but are still weak in many areas, possibly lacking a key element such as a standard [[Wikipedia:List of infoboxes|infobox]].
* '''''Stub''''' — Articles that are either very short or rough collections of information that will need much work.
=== Importance scale ===
Article significance is based loosely on how aware the ICANN Community is of the topic, and therefore how likely they are to consult ICW.
* '''''Top''''' — Subjects that are first closely examined in high school or earlier or that receive significant attention in the media.
* '''''High''''' — Subjects that are generally examined at university or are briefly mentioned at the high school level.
* '''''Mid''''' — Subjects that are examined at later years of university courses.
* '''''Low''''' — Obscure subjects that are important to researchers in the specific field.
