Assessment
If you see an article which is within the scope of this wikiproject, please tag its talkpage with our Wikiproject Open Access talk template. To tag an article as a Wikiproject Open Access article, please add
{{WikiProject Open Access | class= | importance= }}
to the top of the talk page, which yields this discussion template:
Open Access C‑class Top‑importance | |||||||||||||||||

- Quality and importance
"Quality" refers to article quality and "importance" refers to how important an article is for developing this project. When a user tags an article with the above template and rates the article, then it will be included in this table after the bot runs (every three days). To update the table immediately, tell the bot to check things out by making a request here. Either select "Open access" from the list or put those words in the box using that capitalization.
