Wikipedia:WikiProject Swimming/Water polo work group/Assessment/Importance

This page is part of the assessment department of the WikiProject on Water polo, and focuses on assessing the importance of Wikipedia's water polo-related articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the WP:1.0 programme.

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