==Quality Template Problems==
{{Shortcut|DF:Q}}
+
Quality templates should include a timestamp to let us gauge how old a rating is. Quality ratings that do not have proper timestamps are in  [[:Category:Quality ranks without proper timestamps]]. Quality templates that were placed more than 10 weeks ago (and thus should be re-ranked) are in [[:Category:Quality ranks older than 10 weeks]].

In order to rate articles, click the "rate" tab when on the page you wish to rank, then fill out the form in order to suggest an appropriate rating. If you feel the suggested rating is incorrect, you may override it and force a specific rating.
