Notes on evaluating portals

When you evaluate a portal, please always add the date (month/year), version and your name ([[User:XYZ|XYZ]] or ~~~~~ (3*); please do not use ~~~~ (4*) for reasons of space, since it contains an element that cannot be checked or queried. It also stops portals from being self-evaluated. Assessments are part of a review process. They are therefore to be taken as advice and not as mandatory instructions which must be acted upon. The overall assessment should logically follow from the remarks. The following criteria should be used for evaluation:

Overall evaluation

Principles
  • A portal that has neither a nominated editor or editors nor a WikiProject or Task Force overseeing it, can be rated no higher than Yellow.
  • A portal under construction may be rated Orangeuntil it is ready. If it is still incomplete after a month, it should be rated Red
  • Nominated 'overseer' editors who have been inactive for more than six months may be removed.
Colour key
  • GreenGood: rule of thumb: a portal is only assessed as "green" if none of the individual evaluation criteria are "red" and there are significantly more criteria rated as "green" than "yellow".
  • YellowAdequate: generally ok, but has minor issues
  • RedPoor: has medium to serious issues. The rule of thumb is that if more of the detailed criteria are assessed as "red" than "green" or if there are more than three "reds", then the overall rating should be red.
  • Orange: Under construction.
