• The {{WP British crime}} (or{{Uk-crime}}) template has a class= parameter that provides an article assessment rating:

{{WP British crime| class=??? }}

The following values may be used for the parameter. Please note that you must type them exactly as below as they are case-sensitive:

• FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class British crime-related articles)
• A (adds articles to Category:A-Class British crime-related articles)
• GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class British crime-related articles)
• B (adds articles to Category:B-Class British crime-related articles)
• C (adds articles to Category:C-Class British crime-related articles)
• Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class British crime-related articles)
• Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class British crime-related articles)
• FL (adds articles to Category:FL-Class British crime-related articles)
• List (adds articles to Category:List-Class British crime-related articles)
• NA (for pages where assessment is unnecessary, such as templates; adds items to Category:Non-article British crime-related pages)

If a rating is not assigned, the article will be filed in Category:Unassessed British crime-related articles. The class should be assigned according to the grading scheme. A list of Unassessed and In dispute articles can be discussed at Wikipedia:WikiProject British crime/Assessment.
