Usage

{{class|grade}}
Where grade is the classification of the article.
{{class|grade|image=yes}}
|image=yes Displays a small icon next to the grade description for all assessments (produced by {{class/icon}}).

|image=no does not ever display icons.

|image= (blank or undefined) displays icons for FA, FL, A and GA classes only.
{{class|grade|category=category}}
Define an alternative category link.
{{class|grade|header=yes}}
By default the {{class}} template generates a table cell using the <td>...</td> element. If the template is used in the header row of a sortable table, use |header=yes so that the cell is constructed using the <th>...</th> element. If used elsewhere than a header row, omit this parameter.
