Wikipedia:WikiProject Indianapolis Colts/Assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the assessment department to the Indianapolis Colts WikiProject. This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Indianapolis Colts articles. While much of the work is done in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Indianapolis Colts}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Indianapolis Colts articles by quality and Category:Indianapolis Colts articles by importance. The quality and importance ratings described below serve as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.

Template

[edit]

An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject Indianapolis Colts}} banner on its talk page. As a member of this subproject, you can rate articles within our scope.

Usage

[edit]

Please note: This template should be transcluded ({{WikiProject Indianapolis Colts}}) and not substituted (subst) because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the project's talk pages without having to edit thousands of pages.

Importance scale

[edit]

The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute 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 Colts (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it).

Article importance grading scheme
Label Criteria Examples
Top The essence of the Indianapolis Colts. These are the articles, Super Bowl & NFL Championship appearances, stadiums, etc. Indianapolis Colts, Super Bowl XLI, Lucas Oil Stadium
