Wikipedia:WikiProject Amphibians and Reptiles/Assessment

(Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Amphibian and reptile articles by quality statistics)
 * Quality operations: A bot-generated daily log which lists articles Reassessed, Assessed and Removed.
 * Popular pages: List of top articles with the most frequent views, updated monthly.

Instructions
The following values may be used for the importance parameter:


 * Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance amphibian and reptile articles)
 * High (adds articles to Category:High-importance amphibian and reptile articles)
 * Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance amphibian and reptile articles)
 * Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance amphibian and reptile articles)
 * NA (used in cases where the page being tagged is a template, category, or disambiguation page; rates it as "NA-importance" and doesn't add it to a category)

If the parameter is omitted entirely, the article will be added to Category:Unassessed-importance amphibian and reptile articles. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

The following parameters are used to assess specific needs for individual articles and are used in the form:




 * small=yes makes AARTalk banner smaller horizontally.
 * needs-taxobox=yes (adds articles to Category:Amphibian and reptile articles needing taxoboxes
 * needs-photo=yes (adds articles to Category:Amphibian and reptile articles needing photos
 * attention=yes (adds articles to Category:Amphibian and reptile articles needing attention) for cases where immediate attention is needed.

Importance scale
The criteria used for rating article importance 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). Thus, subjects with greater popular notability may be rated higher than topics which are arguably more "important" but which are of interest primarily to students of herpetology.

''Note that general notability need not be from the perspective of editor demographics; generally notable topics should be rated similarly regardless of the country or region in which they hold said notability. Thus, topics which may seem obscure to a Western audience—but which are of high notability in other places—should still be highly rated.''
