Manwich Slogans and Jingles
Hi. I recently started working on cleaning up article Manwich and discovered what I think is an interesting history of slogans and jingles. My research unfortunately consists mostly of watching un-citable youtube vids of TV commercials but I don't know how else to research this aspect of the topic. One thing that I can cite is this controversy. The article is on somewhat thin ice and I was wondering if any of the advertising for this product is (A) notable and (B) of interest to the WikiProject? Any help or suggestions would be welcome.

 * From what I've seen, AdWeek is one of the better sources for marketing and advertising. If that is the only source, just a brief mention under History would do. When the article is that short, the problem is that adding anything to it will be Undue in comparison, but we shouldn't let that stop us from improving the article incrementally.

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal
Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:47, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Help with two articles?
I'm going to post this on multiple applicable WikiProjects, so my apologies for the cut and paste. I don't really see the purpose in writing a new one for each WP. In any case, I need some help fleshing out the article for Gender Advertisements, the book by Goffman. Long story short, the article was created by a group of students who were sent here with apparently little to no instruction or education about Wikipedia and writing encyclopedia articles, so the page had the standard issues: original research, bad sourcing, tone- the works. I've done enough to show where the book would be notable, but the page does need to be fleshed out to focus on the book's influence on others and a basic outline. I'm not overly familiar with the work, so it'd be better for someone familiar with the work to edit the page. I think that the students probably saw the basic article for gender advertisement, which has similar issues (but better sourcing), and modeled their page after that and after the basic student paper type outline. Both articles could use some work from a savvy editor, if anyone's up for the challenge. I've cleaned out the worst in the book article and threw some sources in, so it has that going for it.

WikiProject X is live!


Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Help with a student draft?
Recently a student posted an article to the mainspace, which I've moved to the draftspace at Draft:Racial stereotyping in advertising. It was a little rough around the edges and needs a lot of work, but it's an extremely good topic that has the potential to be a fairly high importance article- enough to where I'm actually surprised it isn't already on Wikipedia. I'll try to get on and help them later, but this article really needs a lot of TLC and patient editors that can work with students. I don't think that you'll have to take them by the hand or anything, just occasionally explain why you're doing what you're doing. I'm going to post this in another WP as well, since it covers a few different areas. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  11:01, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Pageview stats
After a recent request, I added WikiProject Marketing & Advertising to the list of projects to compile monthly pageview stats for. The data is the same used by http://stats.grok.se/en/ but the program is different, and includes the aggregate views from all redirects to each page. The stats are at WikiProject Marketing & Advertising/Popular pages.

The page will be updated monthly with new data. The edits aren't marked as bot edits, so they will show up in watchlists. You can view more results, request a new project be added to the list, or request a configuration change for this project using the Tool Labs tool.

Proposed merge: Real-time bidding into ad exchange
I've proposed merging Real-time bidding into ad exchange, since real-time bidding is what ad exchanges do. Comments? John Nagle (talk) 21:02, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

General cleanup in online advertising.
After a big dispute at WP:AN/I, some changes are underway:
 * Programmatic media is at AfD and headed for deletion as a fork of online advertising.
 * Online advertising is now considered the main article of supply-side platform, demand-side platform, and ad exchange.
 * Real-time bidding has a proposed merge into ad exchange.
 * I've added some graphics based loosely on an Internet Advertising Bureau video to those articles to show where the parts fit in the system.

Overall, the subject of online advertising has lots of good information, but insufficient overview for the casual reader. Consider as an audience the high school student or journalist trying to understand how online advertising works. Most of the articles seem to be addressed to people in the industry. Anyone want to write some introductory material? Thanks. John Nagle (talk) 21:10, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Merge request
I would propose a rapid merger of Unique visitor and Unique user, both in this Wikiproject's purview. The larger, more detailed of the two (Uu) states repeatedly that the two are synonymous, and the smaller of the two articles (Uv) is very short and based on a single source. Transfer of the content should be fast and simple, with addition of a sentence that Uu is (it appears) more often used my the coding communities, and Uv by business/marketing individuals. Cheers.

Help with Ogilvy & Mather
Hi there. A few weeks ago, I proposed a new Major work section on the Ogilvy & Mather Talk page to replace the Notable campaigns section that currently appears in the article. Only three campaigns are included in the article right now, so I expanded the material to encompass more clients and work, particularly any campaigns that have their own Wikipedia articles.

I prepared the draft on behalf of Ogilvy & Mather and have a financial conflict of interest, so I would like to find other editors to review my work. I thought editors here might be interested since the article falls under the scope of this project. To be clear: I will not make any edits myself and prefer that someone else move my draft to the live article if it appears to be an improvement. I welcome feedback or changes if there are any. Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 00:57, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Peer-to-peer marketing
There appear to be a number of hits that come up in a google search for peer to peer marketing, or P2P marketing, so it appears to this non-marketing person that the term is (widely?) used.

However, there seems not to be, at present, a link to which one can go on Wikipedia to get the concept explained. I did searches for both terms and came up blank.

Am I missing something, and there is an existing marketing article or articles where the concept is explained, perhaps under another name? Or might this be something that Wikipedia just doesn't have any article content on at present, for whatever reason, whether because the concept is not that important, or verifiably sourced, or because no editor may have had the time or made the choice to build such content? Any answer is fine; I'm just wondering, as I used the term in an article I was developing today (based on the non-wiki sources and explanations). Cheers. 00:25, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

Requesting help updating company info
Hello, My name is Madison (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MadisonfromStanding) I have submitted an edit to the page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Maritz,_LLC) and was wondering if someone wouldn't mind reviewing and incorporating the proposed changes to improve the page. The changes are very simple: fixing key facts and figures in the infobox, including the CEO and number of employees, and some uncontroversial phrasing changes to the introduction text. I'm following Wikipedia's guidelines by requesting this here (due to a COI) and also because this group is focused on marketing and advertising.

requesting help on USP article
The Unique Selling Proposition is still tagged at Start-Class on the quality scale. In response to an almost 5 year old template: no citations in section, added at least one citation for each slogan to verify it's existence, wording, and help the reader increase understanding. Also, attempted to make section intro text more encyclopedic to encourage reading to go further. Especially calling back to earlier passage identifying real "benefit" as essential to the structure.

Help with either having citations for, or removing, opinion that USP has actually been replaced by "positioning". Talk page has more on that.

Request for the the Maritz, LLC article
Hello, I'm attempting to expand and update the Maritz, LLC Wikipedia article on behalf of Maritz Holdings, Inc. Specifically, I am hoping to find neutral editors who are willing to review the "Corporate overview", "Current subsidiaries", and/or "Former subsidiaries" sections drafted here. As I mentioned in the edit request, I know this is a lot of text to review, and I am fine with separating this single request into requests for each section, if needed. This request is not to change existing text but to expand information about the company's overall structure and subsidiaries. All of the information is sourced, and I've made neutrality a top priority. I am happy to answer questions on my talk page or within the edit request on the article's talk page.

Wikipedia has many thousands of wikilinks which point to disambiguation pages.

Members of WikiProject Disambiguation have been working on this and the total number is now below 20,000 for the first time. Some of these links require specialist knowledge of the topics concerned and therefore it would be great if you could help in your area of expertise.

Suggestions for improving marketing and advertising articles
I came to Wikipedia in October, 2016. My self-imposed mission was to correct fundamental flaws in a number of marketing articles. In the space of just three months, I have worked every single day (from between 4 and 12 hours daily) and completely overhauled a number of articles, by imposing a conceptual framework and adding substantive content:


 * Advertising management - many quality templates (all now removed) - proposals for merger with Advertising on talk page now redundant- much expanded and improved; was rated as a stub - definitely could use a review of its status
 * Australian Market and Social Research Society Limited - proposal for deletion on basis of unintelligible and lacking notability (all now withdrawn)
 * Brand awareness - was rated stub; with many quality templates - all now removed - now much improved, conceptually sound and properly referenced - could use a review of its status
 * Consumer behaviour - many quality templates (all now removed) - now much expanded, conceptually sound and properly referenced; could use a review of its article status- Psychology has now claimed this article as their own
 * E. Jerome McCarthy - was scheduled for deletion on the grounds of lack of notability (AfD nomination now withdrawn)- some issues remain to be addressed (but due to hounding by editor monitoring this article, I feel unable to proceed work on this article)
 * Market segmentation -many quality templates and tags; many criticims and suggestions on talk page - now much expanded and improved (all suggestions and critisisms on talk page integrated into revised article) - could use a review of its article status
 * Service blueprint - now much improved and expanded, conceptually sound and referenced
 * SERVQUAL - now much improved  and conceptually sound  and referenced
 * Servicescapes - now much improved and conceptually sound and fully referenced
 * Services marketing - now much expanded and improved and properly referenced - couple of issues remain to be addressed - could use a review of its article status

I have also made minor changes to short articles to try and get them up to C class:


 * Gimmick - stub class, was possibly scheduled for deletion; now of acceptable standard
 * Press kit -brief article in line for possible deletion; now improved and of acceptable standard

In addition, I tried to improve the following articles, but due to hounding, harrassment and bullying, from other editors was forced to abandon the mission, resulting in both articles now being in a worse state than before I even started on them. In the case of the article on Positioning (marketing), I have left suggestions for content with references that could potentially be added by an editor other than myself to get around the patrol that has been set up on that article:


 * Positioning (marketing)
 * Category killer

I would have liked to overhaul the following, but these pages are so heavily patrolled by editors exhibiting Ownership behaviours that my initial attempts to be Bold were rejected within minutes and I abandoned all hope of improving these articles. The article on Marketing, which should be the centrepiece, is a joke amongst academics and students of marketing. I have left detailed commentary on specific errors that require fixing and also provided suggestions, in the form of a plan with recommended headings and sub-headings, organised around a coherent conceptual framework, for a revised article. In the case of Marketing research I have left detailed suggestions for content additions, with reliable references that could be added by an editor other than myself. My feeling is that Integrated marketing communications and Marketing communications should be merged (see talk page for details):


 * Marketing - fundamentally flawed, lacking in focus, bizarre content
 * Marketing research - history incorrectly credits Nielsen with many firsts; a more detailed and accurate history, with proper references, is required
 * Integrated marketing communications - multiple issues, mainly due to incomprehensibility and lack of citations
 * Marketing communications - multiple issues, mainly due to incomprehensibility and lack of citations
 * Promotion (marketing) - discussion appears to be entirely about advertising media - thus the distinction between advertising and promotion is blurred; no real sense of promotion as a process or problem-solving activity
 * Promotional mix - far from a comprehensive coverage of elements used in promotions - where is branded entertainment, product placement, event marketing, telemarketing, digital communications, exhibitions and trade fairs? Some mention of ethical considerations would be useful - especially in relation to digital promotions and privacy, spamming, A little discussion of how the promotional mix has changed over the past decade would help to round out this article nicely. e.g. it is definitely worth mentioning the shift from interruption models to dialogue models
 * Target market - the current article is actually about segmentation rather than target markets with a little bit of the 4 Ps thrown in for good measure; this article needs a much stronger focus - How are target markets identified? what criteria are used to identify the most valuable target markets? What is the difference between a primary market and a secondary market? How do marketers identify the size and value of target markets? Without a strong focus, this article is simply duplicating content found in the many articles that address market segmentation.

I have also identifed pages that are so problematic or misleading that they really should be deleted as soon as practical (see article's talk page for reasons), including:


 * Attention (advertising)
 * Mass market
 * Marketing communications

I have designed developed a number of images, diagrams, flowcharts that have been added to Wiki Commons and are now used in some of the marketing articles and may be useful on other articles. These images include, but are not confined to:


 * Dick and Basu's Loyalty Matrix
 * A basic enviromental psychology model
 * Hypothetical service blueprint (fast food operation)
 * Typical symbols used in service blueprints
 * S-T-P (Segmentation- Targeting- Positioning)
 * Two different approaches to demographic segmentation (using one and two variables)
 * Major bases used in market segmentation
 * Market segments using clustering techniques
 * The purchase funnell
 * Target audience vs target market
 * Broad approaches to media scheduling
 * Sample media schedule
 * The purchasing decision model
 * The 7 Ps of services marketing
 * Rate of diffusion for selected communications technologies
 * Different types of queueing systems
 * The servicescapes model
 * The model of service quality

Articles with excessive levels of replication

I have also identified many pages that replicate content/ concepts that are well covered in other articles. I asked for some assistance in relation to this on Wiki Help desk, but my query was ignored. The amount of replication on Wikipedia almost defies comprehension, but for the record here are a few samples of articles that canvass the same material organised into groups

Group One: Market Segmentation
 * Market segmentation (main page)
 * Contents replicated in: Segmenting and positioning; Target market; Total addressable market; Serviceable available market; Microsegment; Behavioral targeting; Targeted advertising; Geo-targeting; Product differentiation

Group two: Positioning
 * Positioning (marketing) (main page) contents replicated in Perceptual mapping; Segmenting and positioning; Product differentiation


 * Group three: Advertising - socio-historical aspects
 * Advertising (main page, but almost entirely devoted to history of advertising)
 * Contents replicated in History of advertising; Targeted advertising  and to some extent in Advertising research


 * Group four: Advertising - practice/ management
 * Advertising (ostensibly main page, but almost entirely devoted to history of advertising)
 * Contents replicated in Advertising management; Advertising campaign; Advertising media selection; Media planning; Target audience; Account planning - arguably Advertising management should become the main page


 * Group five: Promotion/ Marketing communications
 * Main page is unclear; but possible one of three possible candidates: Promotion (marketing) or Integrated marketing communications or Marketing communications
 * Content of all three is similar and content of all three repeats material covered in: Promotional mix; Promotional campaign and in the narrower articles of Advertising; Advertising management; Direct marketing; Public relations; Sales promotion; Product placement; Branded entertainment; Promotional merchandise  (and that's not to mention the proliferation of articles on digital media of which there are literally hundreds)


 * Group six: Marketing
 * Main page Marketing
 * Repeats content and concepts canvassed in Marketing management; Marketing mix; Marketing strategy - The article devoted to marketing management is really about marketing strategy. These three articles are very unfocussed and confused.


 * Group seven: Target markets
 * Main page is possibly Target market
 * Content/ concepts are also canvassed in Market segmentation; Total addressable market; Serviceable available market; Targeted advertising ; Target audience; Geo-targeting and Behavioral targeting

To avoid this ongoing replication of articles, marketing really needs to have a strong framework. See, for example, the psychology sidebar Psychology sidebar (just put it inside double brackets to view) which clearly shows how concepts and branches of psychology ar inter-related and where articles fit. Part of the marketing problem is that many of the articles start out with very poor definitions of the topic - and this sets the stage for random subject matter to be added to the article. In addition, pages that are unfocussed also lead to the desire to create new articles with a better focus. For example, the article on Advertising is an uncomfortable blend of socio-historical issues and advertising practice - but very strongly weighted towards history and social criticisms. The fact that this article included some theory of advertising along with this management advice led one editor to decide to start his own article on History of advertising - so now in effect, Wikipedia has two different articles on the history of advertising. Vigilance of new and developing articles should monitor the quality of definitions and should also make an effort to evaluate how well the article's content focuses on core themes.

During my time on Wikipedia, I have been bullied, harrassed and hounded. I have been given appalling advice and had some unfathomable work rules imposed by various editors (none of it backed by any policy). At least three different editors informed me that subject matter experts should refrain from editing in their subject areas and should ONLY make edits outside their subject area. One editor, who was a real bully, continually tried to impose work rules on me. For example she insisted most persistently, that all new content had to be developed in the Sandbox where it was to be perfected, before being uploaded to the Talk page for discussion and only after it had consensus approval could it be added to the article (and since it looks like talk pages in the marketing area are consulted once in every 8-10 years, this advice was clearly designed to lead me to a dead-end). In her words, nothing should go into the article until it was ready for prime-time display. She also insisted that I clean up the expression and grammar in an article before adding new content, even when it was clear that some of the pre-existing content had to be deleted - it apparently needed to be clean before deletion. She followed me around Wikipedia, continually commenting on edits, tagging edits and sending me up to 7 mini-lectures each day on my sins (real and imagined). I won't bother detailing all the other rules and advice that she tried to impose. I had a hard time shaking her off.

And, now the last straw is the battle with the so-called Wikpedia External Links Project, whose stated intention is to 'improve the quality of external links', but judging by their actions is actually a front for the real agenda which is the 'total eradication of all external links'. I find their actions to be dishonest and completely out of line with the spirit of the guidelines on external links.

I have sucessfully discussed deletion decisions with several external links deleter types - in an effort to reinstate links to journals and professional associations - they have suggested a range of strategies


 * (a) write inclusion criteria and post on the article's talk page (I did this, and went one step further by writing detailed justifications for each and every link)
 * (b) if the link is to a notable journal or organisation, write an article about it and then you only need to include it in the ""See Also"" links (Seriously?)

But it actually doesn't matter what I do, in a matter of days, another editor will come along and delete the entire "External Links" section. Their concerted action and peristence, combined with the patent dishonesty behind their actions, is too much. From the outsett, I found the Wikipedia culture oppressive, confusing and contradictory, but somehow found a way to clean up articles without drawing too much attention to myself. But these 'External links' editors are just randomly looking for articles to attack - and for many of them - the only editing they do is deleting external links and writing to people asking them to stop adding external links. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. I simply cannot stand it any more. Good-bye BronHiggs (talk) 21:44, 5 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Update: A few of the articles that I overhauled 12-18 months ago have had their status upgraded to "B" and "C" which is rewarding. I no longer edit in the marketing area. When I wrote this missive some time ago, I had failed to understand the level of animosity for marketing-related subject matter. I began to appreciate this when I read certain comments on the Help Desk where administrators showed their total disdain for marketing and advertising. One in particular, which sticks in my memory, concerns a person associated with a US-based advertising agency and sought assistance chaning the name of the article changed from "XYZ Advertising Agency" to "XYZ Marketing Communications Agency" following a legal change to the company's business name. An admin refused to assist because, in his estimation, anyone who was in the business of advertising did not deserve any special help or concessions. Moreover, he intended to watch the page to ensure that the name change never took effect. At that point, I began to understand that marketing is not a subject that is welcome on Wikipedia. Clearly, there are those who like that most of the marketing articles are total twaddle. I thought, I might as well give up, and so I did. I no longer edit at the same pace, and now only edit in the area of history or art history, which are my second loves. BronHiggs (talk) 03:30, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Interactive collateral management


The article Interactive collateral management has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unsourced and tagged for almost 11 years."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Feedback on History of AKQA
Hi all, I'm here to ask if anyone would be able to provide some feedback on potential content for the article about the design agency AKQA. As background: the article had a warning flag for a while, then a couple of months ago almost all of the text of the article was deleted due to that flag. The page is now just a couple of sentences, so I've put forward some drafted History content for editors to review. The draft is in my user space here:
 * User:GRedgrave_from_AKQA/History_draft

You can see my request on the AKQA Talk page, and one editor's initial feedback here:
 * Talk:AKQA

The draft is based on media coverage of AKQA over its history since its founding in 1994. I've avoided any press releases or using the company website, and focused on major press hits. I'd be grateful if any editors here would take a look and consider adding this to the article. To fully disclose, I am an employee of AKQA, which is why I'm making this request and won't add the content myself. Thanks, GRedgrave from AKQA (talk) 12:25, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

Idea: Marketing operations article
I've noticed on a few marketing articles, such as lead generation and marketing automation, that there's a small box for marketing operations. Also, both of those articles referenced (and others, such as customer relationship management) are all tagged with having issues.

My idea is this: What if we combine some of these articles into a marketing operations article? This can cover:
 * Lead management
 * Marketing automation
 * Make reference to CRMs / link to that article
 * Show different stages of marketing operations, from being focused on events to inbound marketing to the shift towards revenue attribution (can mention revenue operations as well, doesn't seem like enough is out there to warrant a revenue operations article, though)
 * Since it's an article that covers many topics, it also provides flexibility for future concepts

Obviously, this is dependent on having enough sources to warrant it, but I'd be curious what other folks think. Or, if somebody already has one in the works, etc. SportsGuy17 (talk) 22:00, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Edit Request: Consumer Neuroscience
I would like to request the addition of these sentences from these articles to the Consumer neuroscience page. I would like to request a new section be added called "Product" and this sentence added to it:

Unusual products are deemed cool by consumers when they make sense but deemed funny when they do not make sense. Cool products activate the anterior cingulate cortex.

I would also like to request that these sentences be added to the Consumer neuroscience page:

For salespeople, the higher their sales theory of mind score, the better able they are to adapt in different selling situations, the easier they are able to see the perspective of customers, and the less fearful they are of negative feedback.

Consumers are more receptive to marketing placebo effects, such as believing a low price means lower quality, when they are high reward seekers with low somatosensory awareness and a high need for cognition. Jolie O&#39;Dell at University of Arizona (talk) 20:12, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

Edit Request: Consumer Neuroscience
I would like to request the addition of these sentences from these articles to the Consumer neuroscience page under the Advertising section.

Deceptive advertising triggers a consumer’s brain to think about whether the advertising is deceptive or not. There is actually more brain activity when an advertisement is moderately deceptive compared to when an advertisement is believable or highly deceptive.

Activity from the ventral striatum part of the brain is a predictor of a consumer responding to advertising.

I would also like to update a sentence on the Consumer neuroscience page under Advertising and Mental Processing of Advertisements that I originally added to be this:

If curiosity is left unsatisfied, then people are left more tempted to indulge, even in areas that are unrelated to where the original curiosity came from. This effect can be prompted by advertising.

User script to detect unreliable sources
I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like and turns it into something like
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
 * John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from cite web, cite journal and doi.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a class parameter to WikiProject banner shell, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to WikiProject banner shell, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass WPBannerMeta a new custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.
