Wikipedia:WikiProject Malta/Assessment

The Assessment Unit of WikiProject Malta aims to assess all articles related to Malta, based on a decided and common quality scale. This is to further categorise and better organise Malta-related articles, to give a rating in which to work with, and generally assess how an article is progressed and how it might possibly be bettered. It also allows WikiProject malta to see what articles may need improving, expanding or rewriting altogether.

Quality scale
the assessment in articles is derived from the class perameter (parameters are defined by a separatory banner, which | is used as) in the banner added to all articles relating to Malta.

e.g.:  when added to a talk page would generate:

and therefore serve to rate the article as FA status (additionally, the article's talk would be added to Category:FA-Class Malta articles.

The class values used are:


 * FA – the highest (only applicable to an article which has been accepted by the community as a Featured Article)
 * A – 2nd best, almost FA standard
 * GA – (only applicable to an article which has been reviewed and promoted to GA status)
 * B – below GA, better than Start
 * Start – not a stub, but still needs much work before FA or even A status.
 * Stub – the lowest possible rating.

Below is the quality scale, explaining in depth what each of these class tags corresponds to in quality terms, as well as providing an example of an article which befits each of the quality assessment ratings

Importance Scale
An article can also be assessed on how important the subject is in the scope of WikiProject Malta. For instance, the article on Malta is very important to the scope of the project, and so is rated Top importance. While this is definitely an important element of assessment, it does not necessarily reflect how good an article is, and even a Low importance article can be a featured Article if it is good enough. It's also recommended that you read through the project's assessment policy before assigning importance assessments.

e.g.  would generate:

and therefore serve to rate the article as Top-importance status (additionally, the article's talk would be added to Category:Top-importance Malta articles.

The following values may be used for importance assessments:
 * Top – adds articles to Category:Top-importance Malta articles
 * High – adds articles to Category:High-importance Malta articles
 * Mid – adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Malta articles
 * Low – adds articles to Category:Low-importance Malta articles
