Wikipedia:WikiProject Lepidoptera/Article Classification


 * This was shamelessly copied from elsewhere, and is currently being changed to suit the purpose of WikiProject Lepidoptera.

WikiProject Lepidoptera manages lots of articles related to butterflies and moths. This section is an attempt to categorise some of the main ones as to quality level and address which ones need work the most.

This is an ongoing task and your help would be appreciated. Have a read of some of the existing classifications so you know what this is about, and please do read the instructions before starting, as there are a few tweaks and other jobs we can do at the same time as classifying with minimal extra effort and good returns!

Article Assessment Department
Welcome to WikiProject Lepidoptera Article Assessment Department. The bot providing the classification information runs once a day at about 6:00 UTC, so most of the time the data presented here has a lag of one day.

How to grade

 * Locate ungraded Lepidoptera related articles which are within the scope of the project. Those we know about reside in Category:Unassessed Lepidoptera articles and Category:Unknown-importance Lepidoptera articles
 * Grade the article using the grading and importance scheme below.
 * Once graded, the LepidopteraTalk template needs to be included (not subst'd) on the Talk page with the correct parameters. (most articles will have it already, but with no parameters).
 * Edit the /comments subpage to add comments about why you rated the article the way you did. Please sign and date your comment with ~ as usual.
 * Apply small fixes on the spot (or big fixes if you have the time and inclination).
 * While you are there, check that the article is in at least one (and usually only one) Lepidoptera category.
 * If the article is graded better than a stub but it has a stub template, remove the stub template(s) from the article.
 * * If the article in serious need of some 'tender loving care', add it to WikiProject_Lepidoptera
 * Add stubs to the "articles to expand" section of the To Do list, add cleanup candidates to that list too.
 * If the article needs a photo, put a Reqphoto template onto the article's talk page and add it to the "photos needed" list on the To do page
 * If an article might be in need of either merging or splitting, please note the article first and, for merge proposals, any articles you would suggest merging the article into. update this

Examples
Place some examples of the template usage/grading procedure here.
 * For example, change to  if you think it's a low importance B class article... then explain why on the comments subpage which you can get to by clicking on the edit link in the Lepidoptera box.

Article importance grading scheme
Important: ''Please note that species may only be graded as either 'high' or 'low'. If a species is graded 'high' please ensure that it is notable or important as per the directions given in the scheme above.''

Articles covered by the project
The covered articles are sorted in two ways: first, by quality (A, GA, B, Start, Stub), then, inside these categories, by importance (Top, High, Mid, Low).

Defunct facility
The page   was earlier used to track the WikiProject Lepidoptera pages, arranged as per importance and progress, but has been depreciated.

Present facility
The table of Lepidoptera articles by quality and importance is now available vide  , which is updated daily, and which transcludes as given above, at the top right of the page.
