Usage

To add an article to the list, simply add the template to the talk page of the article with the following parameters:

{{WPAstronomy
 |class=XXX
 |importance=YYY
 |object=yes
 |astrophysics=yes
}}

class: Options are FA, A, GA, B, C, Start, Stub, Cat, NA. If blank, this will default as Unassessed. Descriptions of the options can be found at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. NA is "not applicable".
importance:Options are Top, High, Mid, Low and NA. If blank, this will default as ???. The guidelines are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Astronomy/Importance ratings.
object: If the page is an astronomical object, set this to yes. Otherwise, remove it.
astrophysics: If the page also discusses physics, set this to yes. Otherwise, remove it.
auto: This parameter is for the use of bots. It calls the {{stubclass}} template.

How to

Tag a page

Just add {{WPAstronomy|class=}} to an article

Rate an article with a class and importance

... that's already tagged with {{WPAstronomy}}

Edit the talk page, change the class= and importance= parameters to the appropriate ratings, or add |class= and |importance= if not already present, and save the page.

See above for available ratings. Please leave comments about how to improve the article on the /Comments page linked to in the template once you've rated the article.

... that isn't

Edit the talk page, add {{WPAstronomy|class=|importance=}}, and change the class and importance parameters as appropriate before saving the page.

See above for available ratings. Please leave comments about how to improve the article on the /Comments page linked to in the template once you've rated the article.

Leave comments to explain the rating

If comments haven't already been left, then click on the red /Comments list and leave your comments on that page. If they have already been left, then un-hide the comments using the "Show" link on the right of the template, then click on the "edit" link.

Agree that the stub rating is appropriate where the page was auto-tagged

Remove the |auto=yes parameter from within {{WPAstronomy}}, such that the rating reads {{WPAstronomy|class=stub}}.
