Welcome to the Assessment Department of theComputer Science WikiProject. The goal of this project is to assess articles related to Computer science and to provide editors with guidance on how to improve existing articles.
If you would like to participate, feel free to sign up on theComputer Science WikiProject participants list.
An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the{{WikiProject Computer science}} project banner ({{WPCompSci}} for short) on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Computer science|class= GA|importance= high}}
An article's quality assessment is recorded using the|class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the{{WikiProject Computer science}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (seeWikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
| FA | (forfeatured articlesonly; adds them to theFA-Class Computer science articles category) |  FA | |
|---|---|---|---|
| FL | (forfeatured listsonly; adds them to theFL-Class Computer science articles category) | FL | |
| A | (for articles that passed a formalpeer reviewonly; adds them to theA-Class Computer science articles category) |  A | |
| GA | (forgood articlesonly; adds them to theGA-Class Computer science articles category) |  GA | |
| B | (for articles that satisfy all of theB-Class criteria; adds them to theB-Class Computer science articles category) | B | |
| C | (for substantial articles; adds them to theC-Class Computer science articles category) | C | |
| Start | (for developing articles; adds them to theStart-Class Computer science articles category) | Start | |
| Stub | (for basic articles; adds them to theStub-Class Computer science articles category) | Stub | |
| List | (forstand-alone lists; adds them to theList-Class Computer science articles category) | List | |
| NA | (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to theNA-Class Computer science pages category) | NA | |
| ??? | (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in theUnassessed Computer science articles category) | ??? |
For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:
| FM | (forfeatured mediaonly; adds them to theFM-Class Computer science pages category) | FM | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category | (forcategories; adds them to theCategory-Class Computer science pages category) | Category | |
| Draft | (fordrafts; adds them to theDraft-Class Computer science pages category) | Draft | |
| File | (forfiles andtimed text; adds them to theFile-Class Computer science pages category) | File | |
| Portal | (forportal pages; adds them to thePortal-Class Computer science pages category) | Portal | |
| Project | (forproject pages; adds them to theProject-Class Computer science pages category) | Project | |
| Template | (fortemplates andmodules; adds them to theTemplate-Class Computer science pages category) | Template |
The following non-standard assessment grades for mainspace content may be used at a WikiProject's discretion:
| Disambig | (fordisambiguation pages; adds them to theDisambig-Class Computer science pages category) | Disambig | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redirect | (forredirect pages; adds them to theRedirect-Class Computer science pages category) | Redirect |
Note: You should not assign any article FA, FL, or GA grades arbitrarily. These grades must pass through official Wikipedia channels and undergo aPeer Review process.
Computer Science articles are rated onthis importance scale.Importance must be regarded as arelative term. If importance values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importanceto this project and to the work groups the topic falls under. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may be only "Mid-Class" in another project. The criteria used for rating article priority arenot meant to be an absolute or canonical view of how significant the topic is. Rather, they attempt to gauge the probability of theaverage reader of Wikipedia needing to look up the topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it).
The following values may be used for importance assessments:
If left blank, the article will default asCategory:Unassessed_Computer_science_articles.
