Assessing the quality of Wikipedia's LGBTQ+ articles lets us recognise excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. The quality ratings also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.
Assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. This causes the articles that have the {{WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies}} project banner to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:LGBTQ+ studies articles by quality, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. WP:1.0 also produces a statistics page, and a log of articles assessed.
How to assess an article
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
| FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) |  FA |
|
| A (adds articles to Category:A-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) |  A |
|
| GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) |  GA |
|
| B (adds articles to Category:B-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) | B | |
| C (adds articles to Category:C-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) | C | |
| Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) | Start | |
| Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) | Stub | |
| FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) | FL |
|
| List (adds articles to Category:List-Class LGBTQ+ studies articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
Unassessed and recently assessed articles
- Category:Unassessed LGBTQ+ studies articles contains articles that need a valid quality class.
- LGBTQ+ studies articles by quality log shows WP:LGBTQ+ articles that have been assessed, reassessed, renamed, or removed from the project's scope within the past seven days.
Quality scale
WikiProject LGBTQ+ Studies uses the same criteria for grading articles as set out by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team. If you are not sure what class an article falls under, leave a note on the WikiProject's talkpage, and someone will help you out.

Importance
An importance parameter has not been added to the project tag for talk pages, though this has been proposed. A list of core articles is available at WP:LGBTQ+/Core.
