Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science/Assessment
Welcome to the Assessment Department of the Computer Science WikiProject. The goal of this project is to assess articles related to Computer science and to provide editors with guidance on how to improve existing articles.
If you would like to participate, feel free to sign up on the Computer Science WikiProject participants list.
Instructions edit
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject Computer science}} project banner ({{WPCompSci}} for short) on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Computer science
|class= GA
|importance= high
}}
Process edit
- Become familiar with the Wikipedia 1.0 Assessment Scale and this importance scale
- Review some of the existing assessments to get some idea of relative scale for this project
- Then for each review:
- Tag an article related to computer science (or look at a tagged article)
- Read the article and analyze it
- Place your assessment in the {{WPCompSci}} or {{WikiProject Computer science}} banner on the articles talk page (According to the scales below)
Quality scale edit
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Computer science}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
| FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Computer science articles) |  FA |
|
| A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Computer science articles) |  A |
|
| GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Computer science articles) |  GA |
|
| B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Computer science articles) | B | |
| C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Computer science articles) | C | |
| Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Computer science articles) | Start | |
| Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Computer science articles) | Stub | |
| FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Computer science articles) | FL |
|
| List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Computer science articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
Note: You should not assign any article FA, FL, or GA grades arbitrarily. These grades must pass through official Wikipedia channels and undergo a Peer Review process.
Importance scale edit
Computer Science articles are rated on this importance scale. Importance must be regarded as a relative term. If importance values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance to this project and to the work groups the topic falls under. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may be only "Mid-Class" in another project. The criteria used for rating article priority are not meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of the average reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it).
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
- Top adds articles to Category:Top-importance Computer science articles
- High adds articles to Category:High-importance Computer science articles
- Mid adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Computer science articles
- Low adds articles to Category:Low-importance Computer science articles
If left blank, the article will default as Category:Unassessed_Computer_science_articles.
