Assessment parameters
Parameter Values Description
{{{class}}} one of "FA", "A", "B", "C", "Start", "Stub", "Dab", "Category", "Template", "Book", "Current", "Future", "Redirect", "Needed" and "No" This value stores the page's quality assessment. An empty class ("class=") may be used for some meta-pages. See Category:Tropical cyclone articles by quality. Note that the class parameter is case-sensitive.
{{{importance}}} one of "Top", "High", "Mid", "Low" and "No" This value stores the page's importance assessment. An empty class ("importance=") should be used for meta-pages. See Category:Tropical cyclone articles by quality. Note that the importance parameter is case-sensitive.
{{{B1}}}, {{{B2}}}, {{{B3}}}, {{{B4}}}, {{{B5}}}, {{{B6}}}
  • yes: "yes", "y", "true", "t", "pass", "passed", or "p"
  • no: "no", "n", "false", "fail", "failed", or "f"
These parameters are used to implement the WikiProject's B-Class criteria forced checklist. These parameters are only necessary when {{{class}}} is set to "B". If one or more of these parameters is set to any of the "no" variants, and the article is assessed as B-Class, then the banner will automatically reassess the article as C-Class. The same is true if any of parameters are missing, but the banner also adds the article to Category:Tropical cyclone articles with incomplete B-Class checklists in this case. Note that the parameters must be in uppercase letters, but their values are actually case insensitive.
Optional parameters

{{{assessed}}} "yes" or missing Add this if the article has had an assessment discussion (here); a link is automatically added. If the discussion is archived as a subpage of the Assessment department, the link will be added automatically, even without assessed=yes being present.
