Criteria |
Example |
| Top | This article is of the utmost importance to the project, as it provides key information about a major topic that is fundamental to a study of the subject. |
Felix the Cat |
| High | This article is very important to the project, as it covers either a general area of knowledge or provides information about a significant topic. |
Sullivan Bluth Studios |
| Mid | This article is relatively important to the project, as it provides more specific knowledge of areas that a serious reader would need to understand. |
Ariel (The Little Mermaid) |
| Low | This article is significant but has limited importance to the project, as it expands the reader's overall knowledge of the subject into areas of general interest. |
DC animated universe |
| Bottom | This article has no real significance to the project, but it covers additional topics of general or specific interest, some of which could be described as trivia, though all are notable in their own right. Others may be articles of high importance to another project that have an indirect connection with American animation. The category was created by the work group of WikiProject Animation to counter-balance "top importance" and to place "mid-importance" into the actual middle. In addition it serves to separate trivia from articles of low but significant importance. |
