The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Deaf}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Deaf articles by quality, Category:Deaf articles by importance, Category:Deaf articles needing attention.

There is also Category:Non-article Deaf pages) for things like redirect pages, templates, categories, images, etc.

Credit where it's due
[edit]This Project is clearly a blatant rip-off of WikiProject Delaware, which in itself is a blatant rip-off of WikiProject Massachusetts, which, in turn, is a blatant rip-off of WikiProject Vermont, for which the creator of WP:WPDE (as I'm sure the other usurpers, as well) is eternally grateful, yet remoseful all at once.
