Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Hospitals! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Hospital articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

Category:Hospital articles by quality serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist that is updated daily. The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Hospitals}} project banner. Filling in a rating in the class parameter of the {{WikiProject Hospitals}} template on the talk page of an article causes the name of that article to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Hospital articles by quality.

Frequently asked questions

edit
How can I get my article rated?
First, make sure that the article is actually within the scope of the project (see below). If it is, you can list it in the requesting an assessment section below.
Who can assess articles?
Any member of WikiProject Hospitals is free to add—or change—the rating of an article, but please follow the guidelines.
Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?
Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
Where can I get more comments about my article?
Contact WikiProject Hospitals who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.
What if I don't agree with a rating?
Relist it as a request or contact the project.
Aren't the ratings subjective?
Yes, they are (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask on the discussion page for this department, or to contact the WikiProject Hospitals directly.

Instructions

edit

An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Hospitals}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds them to the FA-Class Hospital articles category)   FA
FL (for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class Hospital articles category)   FL
A (for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class Hospital articles category)   A
GA (for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class Hospital articles category)   GA
B (for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class Hospital articles category) B
C (for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class Hospital articles category) C
Start (for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class Hospital articles category) Start
Stub (for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class Hospital articles category) Stub
List (for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class Hospital articles category) List
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class Hospital pages category) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed Hospital articles category) ???

For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:

Category (for categories; adds them to the Category-Class Hospital pages category) Category
Draft (for drafts; adds them to the Draft-Class Hospital pages category) Draft
File (for files and timed text; adds them to the File-Class Hospital pages category) File
Portal (for portal pages; adds them to the Portal-Class Hospital pages category) Portal
Project (for project pages; adds them to the Project-Class Hospital pages category) Project
Template (for templates and modules; adds them to the Template-Class Hospital pages category) Template

The following non-standard assessment grades for mainspace content may be used at a WikiProject's discretion:

Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds them to the Disambig-Class Hospital pages category) Disambig
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds them to the Redirect-Class Hospital pages category) Redirect

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Hospitals}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Hospitals|importance=???}}

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Hospital articles)  Top 
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Hospital articles)  High 
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Hospital articles)  Mid 
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Hospital articles)  Low 
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance Hospital articles)  NA 
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Hospital articles)  ???

Assessment log

edit
The logs in this section are generated automatically (on a daily basis); please don't add entries to them by hand.

This log records all changes since the last run. Unexpected changes, such as downgrading an article, or raising it more than two assessment classes at once, are shown in bold. The maximum size of the log file is approximately 100,000 bytes. Daily changes will be appended to the log until it reaches 100k, at which point the oldest entries will be overwritten. If the current run will be larger than 100k, it will split the update into multiple parts, and the next day's log will start from scratch.

The raw log can be viewed here :Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Hospital_articles_by_quality_log, along with a historical record of ALL updates. To run an update manually, click here.
