Quality assessment

[edit]

An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Botswana}} 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 (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds them to the FA-Class Botswana articles category)  FA
FL (for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class Botswana articles category)  FL
A (for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class Botswana articles category)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class Botswana articles category)  GA
B (for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class Botswana articles category) B
C (for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class Botswana articles category) C
Start (for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class Botswana articles category) Start
Stub (for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class Botswana articles category) Stub
List (for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class Botswana articles category) List
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class Botswana pages category) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed Botswana articles category) ???
For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:
FM (for featured media only; adds them to the FM-Class Botswana pages category)  FM
Category (for categories; adds them to the Category-Class Botswana pages category) Category
Draft (for drafts; adds them to the Draft-Class Botswana pages category) Draft
File (for files and timed text; adds them to the File-Class Botswana pages category) File
Portal (for portal pages; adds them to the Portal-Class Botswana pages category) Portal
Project (for project pages; adds them to the Project-Class Botswana pages category) Project
Template (for templates and modules; adds them to the Template-Class Botswana pages category) Template
The following non-standard assessment grades for mainspace content may be used at a WikiProject's discretion:
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds them to the Disambig-Class Botswana pages category) Disambig
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds them to the Redirect-Class Botswana pages category) Redirect

Article progress grading scheme
Label Criteria Reader's experience Editor's experience
FA
{{FA-Class}}		 Reserved exclusively for articles that have received "Featured article" status after peer review, and meet the current criteria for featured articles. Definitive. Outstanding, thorough article; a great source for encyclopedic information. No further editing necessary, unless new published information has come to light.
A
{{A-Class}}		 Provides a well-written, reasonably clear and complete description of the topic, as described in How to write a great article. It should be of a length suitable for the subject, with a well-written introduction and an appropriate series of headings to break up the content. It should have sufficient external literature references, preferably from the "hard" (peer-reviewed where appropriate) literature rather than websites. Should be well illustrated, with no copyright problems. At the stage where it could at least be considered for featured article status, corresponds to the "Wikipedia 1.0" standard. Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject matter would typically find nothing wanting. May miss a few relevant points. Minor edits and adjustments would improve the article, particularly if brought to bear by a subject-matter expert. In particular, issues of breadth, completeness, and balance may need work. Peer-review would be helpful at this stage.
GA
{{GA-Class}}		 The article has passed through the Good article nomination process and been granted GA status, meeting the good article standards. This should be used for articles that still need some work to reach featured article standards, but that are otherwise good. Good articles that may succeed in FAC should be considered A-Class articles, but being a Good article is not a requirement for A-Class. Useful to nearly all readers. A good treatment of the subject. No obvious problems, gaps, excessive information. Adequate for most purposes, but other encyclopedias could do a better job. Some editing will clearly be helpful, but not necessary for a good reader experience. If the article is not already fully wikified, now is the time.
B
{{B-Class}}		 Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a completed article. Nonetheless, it has significant gaps or missing elements or references, needs substantial editing for English language usage and/or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, NPOV or NOR. With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Wikipedia 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles. Useful to many, but not all, readers. A casual reader flipping through articles would feel that they generally understood the topic, but a serious student or researcher trying to use the material would have trouble doing so, or would risk error in derivative work. Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors. Articles for which cleanup is needed will typically have this designation to start with.
C
{{C-Class}}
Start
{{Start-Class}}		 The article has a meaningful amount of good content, but it is still weak in many areas, and may lack a table. For example an article on Queen Elizabeth might cover her personality well, but be weak on back story. Has at least one serious element of gathered materials, including any one of the following:
  • a particularly useful picture or graphic
  • multiple links that help explain or illustrate the topic
  • a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic
  • multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article
 Not useless. Some readers will find what they are looking for, but most will not. Most articles in this category have the look of an article "under construction" and a reader genuinely interested in the topic is likely to seek additional information elsewhere. Substantial/major editing is needed, most material for a complete article needs to be added. This article usually isn't even good enough for a cleanup tag: it still needs to be built.
Stub
{{Stub-Class}}		 The article is either a very short article or a rough collection of information that will need much work to bring it to A-Class level. It is usually very short, but can be of any length if the material is irrelevant or incomprehensible. May be useless to a reader only passingly familiar with the term. Possibly useful to someone who has no idea what the term meant. At best a brief, informed dictionary definition. Any editing or additional material can be helpful.

Importance assessment

[edit]

An article's importance assessment is generated from the |importance= parameter in the {{WikiProject Botswana}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Botswana|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 Botswana articles)  Top 
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Botswana articles)  High 
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Botswana articles)  Mid 
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Botswana articles)  Low 
NA (adds pages to Category:NA-importance Botswana pages)  NA 
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Botswana articles)  ??? 

Importance scale

[edit]

Importance must be regarded as a relative term. If importance values are applied within this project, these only reflect the perceived importance to this project. An article judged to be "Top-Class" in one context may be only "Mid-Class" in another. The criteria used for rating article importance are not meant to be an absolute or canonical 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 topic (and thus the immediate need to have a suitably well-written article on it).

Article importance grading scheme
Label Criteria Examples
Top High probability that non-Batswana and Batswana would look this up. Limited to about 100 articles, with core articles being limited to 5 central articles. Includes major languages and ethnic groups. Gaborone
High Must have had a large impact on Motswana history or culture or plays an important role today, and/or had importance outside of Botswana. Makgadikgadi Pan
Mid Significant impact on Motswana history or culture, or high regional importance. .bw
Low Low notability. Could be very importance for a small group. Botswana men's national under-16 basketball team
