Assessment Policy
Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Robotics! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Robotics and College 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.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the WikiProject Robotics project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Robotics articles by quality, Category:Robotics articles needing attention, Category:Robotics past collaborations, and Category:Robotics past selected articles. The quality and importance ratings serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. There is also Category:Non-article Robotics pages) for things like redirect pages, templates, categories, images, etc.

Frequently asked questions

 * How can I get my article rated? : As a member of the WikiProject Robotics, you can do it yourself. If you're unsure, list it in the requesting an assessment section link.
 * Who can assess articles? : Any member of WikiProject Robotics 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 Robotics who will handle it or assign the issue to someone. You may also list it for a Peer review.
 * What if I don't agree with a rating? : Relist it as a request or contact WikiProject Robotics who will handle it or assign the issue to someone.
 * Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are, 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 them on the discussion page for this department, or to contact the WikiProject Robotics directly.

Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class and parameters in the WikiProject Robotics project banner on its talk page. You can learn the syntax by looking at the talk pages in edit mode and by reading the info below.

This is the rating syntax (ratings and dates are samples, change to what applies to the article in question):
 * Displays the default banner, showing the project info and only ??? for the quality parameter.
 * All assessed articles should have quality filled in. Leaving the other parameters off does not hurt anything.
 * If an article needs immediate attention, add the attention tag and please leave talk notes as to why. The only valid parameter for this field is "yes". If it does not need attention, leave the parameter off.
 * If an article has been the SATM or COTF, these tags get added in this format.
 * If an article needs immediate attention, add the attention tag and please leave talk notes as to why. The only valid parameter for this field is "yes". If it does not need attention, leave the parameter off.
 * If an article has been the SATM or COTF, these tags get added in this format.
 * If an article has been the SATM or COTF, these tags get added in this format.
 * If an article has been the SATM or COTF, these tags get added in this format.

The following values may be used for the class parameter:


 * FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Robotics articles)
 * A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Robotics articles)
 * GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Robotics articles)
 * B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Robotics articles)
 * Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Robotics articles)
 * Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Robotics articles)
 * List (adds pages to Category:List-Class Robotics articles)
 * NA (for pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Robotics pages). This means "non-article", NOT non-applicable.
 * Template (adds template pages to Category:Template-Class Robotics pages)
 * Category (adds category pages to Category:Category-Class Robotics pages)
 * Disambig (adds disambiguation pages to Category:Disambiguation-Class Robotics articles)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Robotics articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

Quality scale
All examples below are as of September 2007. Please note that a B-Class article must include at least one reference.
