"Assessment"

One of the main tasks of the Slipknot WikiProject is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's Slipknot articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.

The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the Slipknot Project project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Slipknot articles by quality, which serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist. WP:1.0 also produces a statistics page, and a log of articles assessed.

How to Assess
An article's assessment is generated on its talkpage from the class parameter in Slipknot Project, the WikiProject's banner. To add the banner, add the following to its talkpage:


 * Parameters for class are:
 * FA - puts the article in Category:FA-Class Slipknot articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as featured articles)
 * FL - puts the article in Category:FL-Class Slipknot articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as featured lists)
 * A - puts the article in Category:A-Class Slipknot articles
 * GA - puts the article in Category:GA-Class Slipknot articles; should only be used for articles that are currently listed as good articles)
 * B - puts the article in Category:B-Class Slipknot articles
 * C - puts the article in Category:C-Class Slipknot articles
 * Start - puts the article in Category:Start-Class Slipknot articles
 * Stub - puts the article in Category:Stub-Class Slipknot articles
 * List - puts the article in Category:List-Class Slipknot articles
 * If an invalid or no parameter is given the page will be added to Category:Unassessed Slipknot articles

Where to find unassessed articles
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Slipknot articles. The criteria for the different classes is below.

Quality scale
WikiProject Slipknot uses the same criteria for grading articles as set out by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team. If you are not sure what class an article falls under, leave a note on the WikiProject's talkpage, and someone will help you out.

Importance
An importance parameter has not been added to the project tag for talk pages.
