Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Chronicles of Narnia task force/Assessment

Quality: FA-Class | A Class | GA-Class | B-Class | Start-Class | Stub Class | Redirect Class | Unassessed

Importance: Top | High | Mid | Low | Unknown

Welcome to the assessment department of Chronicles of Narnia task force! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Narnia articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the NovelsWikiProject project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Narnia articles by quality and Category:Narnia articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Frequently asked questions

 * How do I add an article to the task force? : Just add to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
 * How can I get my article rated? : Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
 * Who can assess articles? : Any member of the Narnia WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Please add your name to the list of participants if you wish to assess articles on a regular basis.
 * Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments? : Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
 * What if I don't agree with a rating? : You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
 * Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are (see, in particular, the disclaimers on the importance scale), but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

Instructions
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the WikiProject Novels project banner on its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax):



The following values may be used for the class parameter:


 * FA (adds articles to Category:FA-Class novel articles)
 * FL (adds articles to Category:FL-Class novel articles) - Featured List (subject to the same controls as FA)
 * A (adds articles to Category:A-Class novel articles)
 * GA (adds articles to Category:GA-Class novel articles)
 * B (adds articles to Category:B-Class novel articles)
 * C (adds articles to Category:C-Class novel articles)
 * Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class novel articles)
 * Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class novel articles)
 * NA (for pages, such as templates or disambiguation pages, where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class novel articles)
 * Cat (adds articles to Category:Category-Class novel articles)
 * Dab (adds articles to Category:Disambig-Class novel articles)
 * List (adds articles to Category:List-Class novel articles)
 * Portal (adds articles to Category:Portal-Class novel articles)
 * Project (adds articles to Category:Project-Class novel articles)
 * Redirect (adds articles to Category:Redirect-Class novel articles)
 * Template (adds articles to Category:Template-Class novel articles)

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed novel articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:


 * Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance novel articles)
 * High (adds articles to Category:High-importance novel articles)
 * Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance novel articles)
 * Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance novel articles)

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

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".

Requesting an assessment
If you have made significant changes to an article and would like an outside opinion on a new rating for it, please feel free to list it below.
