{{Main|Wikipedia:WikiProject Sheffield/Assessment}} 
The article ratings are used within the project itself to aid in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{tl|WikiProject Sheffield}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Sheffield articles by quality]] and [[:Category:Sheffield articles by priority]], which are themselves sub-categories of the master category for administration categories: [[:Category:WikiProject Sheffield]].

Discusions of the ratings in general is on the [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Sheffield/Assessment|Assessments talk]] page, specific articles assessmet ratings can be discused on the articles own talk page or raised on the Project [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Sheffield|talk]] page.
