Wikipedia:WikiProject Alternate History/Assessment

The assessment department of WikiProject Alternate History is responsible for assessing the quality of Wikipedia's alternate history related articles. This information is used within the project itself and also for the WP:1.0 program.

The ratings are done through parameters in the {{WikiProject Alternate History}} banner, which cause articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Alternate History articles by quality and Category:Alternate History articles by importance.

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Alternate History}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Alternate History articles)		FA
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Alternate History articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Alternate History articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Alternate History articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Alternate History articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Alternate History articles)		Stub

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

After assessing an article's quality, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{Alternate History WikiProject}} banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Alternate History| ... | importance=??? | ...}}

The following values may be used for importance assessments:

• Top - The article is about one of the core topics of science fiction. Adds articles to Category:Top-importance alternate history articles
• High - The article is about the most well-known or culturally or historically significant aspects of science fiction. Adds articles to Category:High-importance alternate history articles
• Mid - The article is about a topic within the science fiction field that may or may not be commonly known outside the science fiction community. Adds articles to Mid-importance alternate history articles
• Low - The article is about a topic that is highly specialized within the science fiction field and is not generally common knowledge outside the community. Adds articles to Category:Low-importance alternate history articles
• Unknown - Any article which has not yet been assessed on the importance scale is automatically added to the Category:Unknown-importance alternate history articles.
