program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.

• When the {{
  LGBTProject}} banner is added to an article without an assessment parameter specified, the article will be placed in Category:Unassessed LGBT articles
  .
• Once an editor has assessed the article and completed the assessment parameter, the article will be added to the appropriate sub-category of Category:LGBT articles by quality. These categories are used to generate reports like the quality table in this section.
• The LGBT articles by quality log lists articles that have been assessed, reassessed, moved, or removed from the project's scope in the past week.
