Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical music/Contemporary music task force/Assessment

Welcome to the assessment page!

Simplified assessment system
The folowing simplified system was adopted by the project (27 November 2009). The main features are:


 * FA, FL, GA class when assessed through Wikipedia (i.e. non-project) process
 * A, B class by short written assessment (subject to consensus, and further discussion before being implemented)
 * C class not used by the project
 * Start class nominal (unwritten) assessment
 * Stub class if the article has a stub template
 * List class if the article is a simple list

Project banner and article grading
Ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the WikiProject Contemporary music project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Contemporary music articles by quality, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

This template categorizes pages using assessment grades through built-in transclusion. An article's assessment is generated from the class parameters in the  banner on its talk page. This template should be transcluded and not substituted (subst) because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit hundreds of pages.

Classes
The following values may be used for the class parameter:

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Contemporary music articles.
