b6 Accessibility: Answer yes if the article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way.

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


importance: The following values may be used for the importance parameter:

This parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, Category, Disambig, Image, Portal, Project, Redirect, or Template, and may be omitted in those cases.


attention: Answer yes if the page needs immediate attention, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:The Clash articles needing attention.


needs-infobox: Answer yes if the page needs an infobox, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:The Clash articles needing infoboxes.

Quality

[edit]

The quality assessments are mainly performed by members of WikiProjects, who tag talk pages of articles. These tags are then collected by a bot, which then generates output such as a table, log and statistics. The quality scale must be the same across all wikiprojects.

It is vital that people not take these assessments personally. It is understood that we all have different priorities and different opinions about what makes a perfect article. Generally an active project will develop a consensus, though be aware that different projects may use their own variation of the criteria more tuned for the subject area. If you contribute a lot of content to an article you may request an independent assessment.

Three levels, GA, FL and FA, are NOT assessments that can be assigned simply by a project member. These refer to external judgments of article quality made at WP:GA, WP:FL and WP:FA. If these tags are desired, and the article meets the criteria (for GA or FA), it must be nominated (for GA or FA) and await comments. See also the guideline on the English Wikipedia.

Quality scale

Importance

[edit]

Importance must be regarded as a relative term. If importance values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance to this project. An article judged to be "Top-importance" in one context may be only "Mid-importance" in another. 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).

Consider a hierarchy such as History -> History of Europe -> History of Poland -> Polish kings and queens. An article labeled as "Top-importance" for the subject of history would probably warrant inclusion in V0.5, V1.0 and other releases. A "Top-importance" article for the history of Poland would be a reasonable candidate for inclusion, but most "Top-importance" articles on Polish kings & queens would probably not be included in early releases. Nevertheless, such ranking within a subject area is very helpful in deciding which articles are included first as the scope of the Wikipedia 1.0 project expands. Quality articles which are not considered to be on topics important enough for inclusion on V0.5 will be held in a held nominations page, ready for inclusion as the scope expands.
