This template will display, in a horizontal table, the number of articles of each class, which belong to a particular WikiProject. The syntax is as follows:

{{Articles by Quality
 |topic=
 |project=
}}

• |topic= (required) - set to the name used in the project or task force's Category:topic articles by quality
• |project= (optional) - if defined, a caption is displayed below the table with the following three links: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject project|WikiProject project]], [[:Category:topic articles by quality|articles by quality]], and a "Refresh" button.
• |custom1=, |custom2= (optional) - allows for addition of custom classes such as the Audio-Class, for example |custom1=Audio
• |format= (optional) - changes the way the template is formatted using one of Wikipedia's defined styles (CSS), for example |format=toc
• |task_force= (optional) - if |project= has been set, and |task_force=yes then the following two parameters are required:
  • |tf_link= - should be set to the task force's subpage name.
  • |parent= - should be set to the same value as |project=. Together, these two parameters generate the first link as: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject parent/tf_link|topic Taskforce]], along with the other two links as above.
  • |tf_name= (optional) - if you wish to change the default spelling of "Taskforce", |tf_name= should be set to your preferred spelling. The link will be then rendered as: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject parent/tf_link|topic tf_name]]

{{Articles by Quality|topic=AfC|project=Articles for creation}}

Changing class to format template layout

By using the |format= tag, you can change the way the template is formatted using one of Wikipedia's defined styles (CSS).

{{Articles by Quality|topic=AfC|project=Articles for creation|format=toc}}

will result in:

WikiProject Articles for creation  articles by quality     Refresh

FA	A	GA	B	C	Start	Stub	FL	List	Category	Disambig	Draft	File	Project	Redirect	Template	NA	???	Total
17	0	296	3,379	20,702	64,797	25,790	14	2,756	6,960	2,091	30	1,598	0	59,175	472	597	306	188,980

You can use any of the Wikipedia defined classes in this parameter. In this example, the switch changes the style from the default wikitable to the toc style used in the {{Cat class}} template. All formatting in the template will be changed to the defined style chosen and cannot be modified.

{{Articles by Quality
 |project    = Food and drink
 |topic      = Cheeses
 |task_force = yes
  |tf_link   = Cheeses task force
  |parent    = Food and drink
 |format     = toc
}}

will generate:
