Welcome to the assessment department of the Neopaganism WikiProject! This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Neopaganism related 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 Neopaganism}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Neopaganism articles by quality and Category:Neopaganism articles by importance, which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist.
Frequently asked questions
- How can I get my article rated?
- Please list it in the section for assessment requests below.
- Who can assess articles?
- Any member of the Neopaganism WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.
- Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?
- Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
- What if I don't agree with a rating?
- You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again.
- Aren't the ratings subjective?
- Yes, they are, but it's the best system we've been able to devise; if you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!
If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.
Instructions
Assessing articles
Quality
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Neopaganism}} 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 Neopaganism articles) |  FA |
|
| A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Neopaganism articles) |  A |

| Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Neopaganism articles) | Start | |
| Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Neopaganism articles) | Stub | |
| FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Neopaganism articles) | FL |
|

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

| Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class Neopaganism pages) | Project | |
| Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Neopaganism pages) | Template | |
| NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Neopaganism pages) | NA | |
| ??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Neopaganism articles) | ??? |
Importance
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Neopaganism}} project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Neopaganism|importance=???}}
The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):
| Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Neopaganism articles) | Top | |
| High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Neopaganism articles) | High | |
| Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Neopaganism articles) | Mid | |
| Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Neopaganism articles) | Low | |
| NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance Neopaganism articles) | NA | |
| ??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Neopaganism articles) | ??? |
Discussion
After assessing an article, any comments on the assessment can be added to the article's talk page.
Quality scale
Importance scale
| Label | Criteria | Reader's experience | Editor's experience | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top | The article is one of the core topics about Neopaganism. | A reader who is not involved in the field of Neopaganism will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily. | Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages. | Neopaganism |
| High | The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding Neopaganism. | |||
| Mid | The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history of Neopaganism. | Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject. | Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand religion, such as specific aspects of Neopaganism. Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text. Most people involved in Neopaganism will be rated in this level. | |
| Low | The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Neopaganism. | Few readers outside the Neopaganism field may be familiar with the subject matter. It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article. | Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of Neopaganism, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed. Topics included at this level include most practices and infrastructure of Neopaganism. | Criticism of modern Paganism |
