Wikipedia:WikiProject Bahá'í Faith/Assessment

This is the assessment department WikiProject Bahá'í Faith. Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of assessments for articles: their quality and their importance in terms of the project. Some of the criteria for quality articles is already decided by the WP:1.0 team and there are batteries of assessment that apply to all Wikipedia articles, from simple formatting fixes to peer review.

To assess an article, the first step is to place the WikiProject Bahá'í Faith banner on its talk page WikiProject Bahá'í Faith - if this is too cumbersome, simply insert WPBF; this causes the article to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Bahá'í Faith articles by quality and Category:Bahá'í Faith articles by importance.

Please list articles for rating in the assessment requests section below. Any member of the WikiProject can add to or change the rating of any article.

Quality assessments
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the WikiProject Bahá'í Faith project banner on its talk page:



The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article:
 * FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * Needed (for articles that do not yet exist but have been identified as subjects that should be covered; adds articles to Category:Needed-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)

For pages that are not articles, the following values can also be used for the class parameter:
 * Template (for templates; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * Dab or Disambig (for disambiguation pages; add pages to Category:Disambig-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * Cat or Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Bahá'í Faith articles)
 * NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:Non-article Bahá'í Faith pages)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed-Class Bahá'í Faith articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

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:Bahá'í Faith articles with comments.
