Chicago articles rated according to the Chicago Project Team process. This category based list contains Chicago Project articles that have been rated for the Importance parameter by the WikiProject Chicago team of editors. Articles are automatically placed in this category list when there is a value given for the Importance parameter. Once a value is added into the parameter (see instructions given below), the article will be automatically placed within this category based list. Do not add articles to this category list directly. Instead, go to the articles' Talk page and add the High Importance value (or whatever value you feel is appropriate for the subject of the article) by adding and/or editing the article's Template:WikiProject Chicago Talk page tag, as follows:

{{WikiProject Chicago
 |class           = <!--FA/A/GA/B/C/Start/Stub/FL/List/NA/FM/Disambig/Redirect; other namespaces don't require class-->
 |importance      = <!--Top/High/Mid/Low/NA-->
 |attention       = <!--yes or remove it-->
 |needs-infobox   = <!--yes or remove it-->
 |needs-photo     = <!--yes or remove it-->
 |auto            =
 |category        =
 |listas          =
}}

or

{{WikiProject Chicago |class= |importance= }}

These labels (i.e., values placed within the Importance parameter) refer to this grading scheme:
