Template:WP:WikiProject Amusement Parks/Menu

Welcome to the assessment department of WikiProject Amusement Parks!

This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's amusement park articles and their relative importance to the project. While much of the work is performed in conjunction with the WP:1.0 program, article assessment ratings are used within the project itself to aid in the recognition of excellent contributions and in the identification of topics that need further improvements.

How it works

[edit source]

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Amusement Parks}} project banner. The class= parameter is the assessed quality rating of the article, and the importance= parameter grades the article's relevance to this project. Adding this template banner on the article's talk page will list the article at Category:Amusement park articles and place it in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Amusement park articles by quality and Category:Amusement park articles by importance. This serves as the foundation for an automatically generated work list. Multiple parameters exist for the template that allow extensive classification within the project's scope.

When you create or find a new page within the scope of WikiProject Amusement Parks please add any of the following to the top of its talk page: 

{{WikiProject Amusement Parks |class= |importance= }}

{{WikiProject Amusement Parks |class= |importance= |coaster= |coaster-importance= |cedar= |cedar-importance= |disney= |disney-importance= |herschend= |herschend-importance= |hersheypark= |hersheypark-importance= |merlin= |merlin-importance= |sixflags= |sixflags-importance= |uk= |uk-importance= |universal= |universal-importance= |seaworld= |seaworld-importance= |unref= |Imageneeded= |Imagedetails= |listas= }}

{{WikiProject Amusement Parks
|class                   = 
|importance              = 
|coaster                 = 
 |coaster-importance     = 
|cedar                   = 
 |cedar-importance       = 
|disney                  = 
 |disney-importance      = 
|herschend               = 
 |herschend-importance   = 
|hersheypark             = 
 |hersheypark-importance = 
|merlin                  = 
 |merlin-importance      = 
|sixflags                = 
 |sixflags-importance    = 
|uk                      = 
 |uk-importance          = 
|universal               = 
 |universal-importance   = 
|seaworld                = 
 |seaworld-importance    = 
|unref                   = 
|Imageneeded             = 
 |Imagedetails           = 
|listas                  = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to Category:Amusement park articles.

Optional parameters

[edit source]

Aliases

[edit source]
  • The parameters |disneyland= and |wdw= are recognised as aliases for |disney=. If more than one is present, |disneyland= has precedence over |wdw=, and |disney= has precedence over both of the others: parameters with lower precedence are ignored.
  • The parameters |disneyland-importance= and |wdw-importance= are recognised as aliases for |disney-importance=. If more than one is present, |disneyland-importance= has precedence over |wdw-importance=, and |disney-importance= has precedence over both of the others: parameters with lower precedence are ignored.
  • The parameter |Hersheypark-importance= is recognised as an alias for |hersheypark-importance=. If both |hersheypark-importance= and |Hersheypark-importance= are present, |Hersheypark-importance= is ignored.
  • The parameters |imageneeded=, |Photoneeded= and |photoneeded= are recognised as aliases for |Imageneeded=. If more than one is present, the order of precedence, from highest to lowest, is: |Imageneeded= → |imageneeded= → |Photoneeded= → |photoneeded= . Parameters with lower precedence are ignored.
  • The parameter |UK= is recognised as an alias for |uk=. If both |uk= and |UK= are present, |UK= is ignored.
  • The parameter |UK-importance= is recognised as an alias for |uk-importance=. If both |uk-importance= and |UK-importance= are present, |UK-importance= is ignored.

Frequently asked questions

[edit source]
How do I get an article added to the project?
Just add {{WikiProject Amusement Parks}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else. Anyone can add an article to the project.
How can I get my article rated?
After adding the article to the project, please list it in the section for assessment requests below. All unrated articles show up under Category:Unassessed amusement park articles and on various work lists.
Who can assess articles?
Anyone 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 specific questions, you can ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
Where can I get more comments about my article?
You can ask on the Amusement Parks Project Assessment talk page.
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. Alternatively, you can ask any member of the project at Amusement Parks Project talk page 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 project Assessment talk page.

Quality assessments

[edit source]

An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Amusement Parks}} 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 amusement park articles category)  FA
FL (for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class amusement park articles category)  FL
A (for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class amusement park articles category)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class amusement park articles category)  GA
B (for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class amusement park articles category) B
C (for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class amusement park articles category) C
Start (for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class amusement park articles category) Start
Stub (for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class amusement park articles category) Stub
List (for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class amusement park articles category) List
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class amusement park pages category) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed amusement park articles category) ???

For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:

Category (for categories; adds them to the Category-Class amusement park pages category) Category
Draft (for drafts; adds them to the Draft-Class amusement park pages category) Draft
File (for files and timed text; adds them to the File-Class amusement park pages category) File
Portal (for portal pages; adds them to the Portal-Class amusement park pages category) Portal
Project (for project pages; adds them to the Project-Class amusement park pages category) Project
Template (for templates and modules; adds them to the Template-Class amusement park 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 amusement park pages category) Disambig
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds them to the Redirect-Class amusement park pages category) Redirect

Grading scheme

[edit source]

Importance scale

[edit source]

The importance scale for this WikiProject's Task Forces can be found on each Task Force page. They should be modeled after Wikipedia's outline for priority assessments and the suggested criteria at {{Importance scheme}}.

The following is a guide for assigning importance within WikiProject Amusement Parks. The process is somewhat subjective. Click the importance grade in the left column to view articles within this WikiProject that have that designation.

Requesting an assessment

[edit source]

If you have created a new article or made significant changes to one, and are seeking another editor's opinion on its assessment, feel free to list it below in the form of:

* {{Article|articlename}} --~~~~.

Note that requesting assistance here is not required. Any editor who feels comfortable doing so may assess or re-assess an article on their own. It is recommended to use the charts above as a reference. Also, you may leave brief comments below when performing an assessment for others, but extensive commentary is best left at the article's talk page. WikiProject members should help keep the list below tidy by periodically removing old entries in the list that have been assessed.

Important: If you assess an article listed below, please indicate  Done, as well as the result, and strike it off the list so that others are aware.

 Done Already assessed as C which I would keep. Good additions but missing sources and could benefit from more content. Adog (Talk・Cont) 00:52, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Demon (roller coaster) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - I've been working on this article for ~5 months (and have added 37 sources in that time, as well as over doubling the article length) and I would like an unbiased opinion on its quality - I'd like it to be reassessed. Any feedback would be very welcome as well! I'll ping @Adog because the last person didn't and their article hasn't been reassessed yet after 9 months. Thanks in advance! - Plighting Engineerd (talk) 04:12, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
 Done Start to C class. Good deal of work into the article (the graphic made was a nice touch). More information is good. There are a couple of missing sources, and could use the addition of more content from independent web-based sources (I would suggest doing a deep dive into the Newspapers.com archive or local newspaper coverage, less of enthusiast sources/YouTube/Official website where possible).
