User:Mrchris/WikiProject Kilkenny/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment department of the WikiProject Kilkenny! This page focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's articles related to County Kilkenny. Making use of 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 Kilkenny project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Kilkenny articles by quality and Category:Kilkenny articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist and quality log.

Quality assessments
After assessing an article's quality, comments on the assessment can be added either to the article's talk page or to the /Comments subpage which will appear as a link next to the assessment. Adding comments will add the article to Category:Kilkenny articles with comments. Comments that are added to the /Comments subpages will be transcluded onto the automatically generated work list pages in the Comments column.


 * When a "yes" is inserted in the "image-needed'" parameter the page will be listed in Category:Kilkenny articles needing images.


 * When a "yes" is inserted in the "attention'" parameter the page will be listed in Category:Kilkenny articles needing attention.


 * When a "yes" is inserted in the "infobox-needed'" parameter the page will be listed in Category:Kilkenny articles needing infoboxes.

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



The following values may be used for importance assessments:
 * Top - adds articles to Category:Top-importance Kilkenny articles
 * High - adds articles to Category:High-importance Kilkenny articles
 * Mid - adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Kilkenny articles
 * Low - adds articles to Category:Low-importance Kilkenny articles
 * Unknown - Any article not rated for importance is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance Kilkenny articles.

Importance scale
The assessment team have developed some criteria specific to Irish articles as guidelines for deciding the importance of articles being assessed. Different criteria tables have been created for different topic groups as shown below.
