This category is for classifications of article quality. It should not include article tags, {{attention}}, its subcategories, or other tags like {{theory}} or {{spoilers}}.

In short, article qualities go as such:

{{stub}} articles are short, terrible, and need expanding. Stubs are bad. These can either graduate to {{complete}} status—which indicates that though the article is short, it has all the possible knowledge on the subject—or {{partial}} status.

{{partial}} articles are articles which are too long to be considered mere stubs, but still need to be improved. These are usually on meaty subjects like main characters, where the info in the article is obviously longer than a stub, but doesn't contain everything that could be said about the character.

{{complete}} articles are articles that are likely complete, but still need to be reviewed by a Keeper to make sure they are exhaustive and well-formatted.

{{exemplary}} articles fall outside of the normal article hierarchy; they are not part of the ordinary progression of article quality and sit above reviewed articles. They are the best articles on the Coppermind, and contain a wealth of information, and are conceivably totally complete with their treatment at hand. This tag is also added by the Keepers.
