Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Assessment
WikiProject Portals assesses quality and importance for portals and related pages.
Portal quality criteria
Portals are assessed based on how well they serve their purpose as entry points into their respective topic areas. High quality portals are:
- Useful. Provides:
- (a) an introduction to the topic or topics the portal covers, which follows the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section § Introductory text guidelines
- (b) a variety of sample content and navigational sections, as well as a bridge between reading and editing, per Wikipedia:Portal guidelines § What content to include
- Broad in coverage.
- (a) Each selected content section either has at least 20 items on random rotation, or is updated on at least a monthly basis.
- (b) Content is representative of the entire topic or topics the portal covers, and not overly focused on specific aspects. Portals should present a worldwide view of the topic, unless the topic specifically relates to one or more countries or geographical areas.
- Up to date. Changes to article content are reflected in the portal content.
- Formatted appropriately. Follows the (draft) guidelines at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Portals.
Quality scale
A portal's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Portals}} project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Portals|class=class}}
Portal pages
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the portal:
| Class | Criteria | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| FPo | For Featured portals, which had passed a formal review at Wikipedia:Featured portal candidates before the process was retired. | US roads, Germany |
| Complete | Portal is complete and without significant issues; meets all of the portal quality criteria | Companies |
| Substantial | Portal is substantially complete; meets all of the Wikipedia:Portal guidelines and most but not all of the portal quality criteria. | ... |
| Basic | Portal has significant room for improvement; it meets the Wikipedia:Portal guidelines, but fails several of the portal quality criteria, or fails any by a large margin. It is is useful enough for Portalspace. This is the minimum requirement to be left unaltered. | ... |
| Incomplete | A portal that does not meet the Wikipedia:Portal guidelines, so is not yet a portal. It does not belong in portal-space, and should be draft-spaced or userfied if not fixed within a specified period (1 month?). If an attempt at a portal has no clear chance of meeting the portal guidelines based on the available articles it should be deleted until the topic has developed sufficiently | ... |
| Meta | Meta-level portals that focus on areas of Wikipedia other than articles. Some or all of the portal guidelines may not apply. | Portal:Contents/Portals |
| ??? | Quality has not yet been assessed. | — |
Non-portal pages
For pages in the WikiProject's scope that are not portals, the following values can also be used for the class parameter:
| Class | Criteria |
|---|---|
| Category | For categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Portal pages) |
| Disambig | For disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Portal pages) |
| Draft | For drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class Portal pages) |
| List | For lists; adds pages to Category:List-Class Portal pages) |
| File | For files; adds pages to Category:File-Class Portal pages) |
| Redirect | For redirect pages in the Portal namespace; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class Portal pages) |
| Project | For project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class Portal pages) |
| Template | For templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class Portal pages) |
| NA | For any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Portal pages) |
| ??? | Pages for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Portal pages) |
Importance scale
A portal's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Portals}} project banner on its talk page:
{{WikiProject Portals|importance=importance}}
These importance ratings are only used in the context of WikiProject Portals, and are primarily based on the scope of a portal's subject, and not its popularity or page views, which may fluctuate over time.
| Importance | Criteria | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Top-level entry point (portal of a main subject, in the top tier of the portal navigation structure). Reserved for knowledge itself, portals linked from the Main Page, and the subjects presented as Wikipedia's main content divisions, which are displayed in the table of contents at the top of the start page for each of the major navigation systems (Portal:Contents/Portals, Portal:Contents/Outlines, Portal:Contents/Categories, Portal:Contents/Glossaries, etc.). | |
| High | Portal subject is extremely important, even crucial. Reserved for portals on a vital (level 2) topic. | |
| Mid | Portals with a very broad, internationally significant subject. Includes portals for countries themselves (but excludes "Subject in country" and similar portals). Level 3 and 4 vital topics? | |
| Low | Portals with a subject that is broad, but only significant within a particular field or subject, or in a national context. | |
| Bottom | Portals on niche topics; typically individual (or small groupings of) people, places, and things – including film, television, and book series | |
| NA | Importance is not applicable, i.e. pages which aren't portals |
- |
| ??? | Importance has not yet been assessed. |
