Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

IP-hopping vandal changing hospital descriptions, esp. to add "district general"

I've come across a pattern of Hong Kong IPs vandalising hospital articles by changing the description in the opening sentence and infobox, mostly to falsely say "district general" hospital; see contribs for 203.145.94.115 (talk · contribs · WHOIS), 223.18.220.5 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 124.217.188.107 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for example. Please keep an eye out for this. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:01, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Materialscientist, would you know anything about this? I see you've reverted several of the bad edits and blocked one of the IPs (though for unrelated edits). --Paul_012 (talk) 17:11, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Update: Having gone through a whole lot of the IP editor's edits, it does seem that they might not be outright vandalism, but very misguided edits that attempted to force blatantly incorrect terminology into articles in areas where they have no knowledge. I'm not able to sift the valid edits from the bad ones, so will be reverting on sight. --Paul_012 (talk) 04:15, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

The following IPs have been used to make such edits, as far as I've found. --Paul_012 (talk) 07:33, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Discussion at Wikipedia:Content assessment

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia (per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects. Thanks! —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 21:59, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
