Wikipedia:WikiProject Spiders/Article assessment

WikiProject Spiders manages lots of articles related to spiders. This section is an attempt to categorise some of the main ones as to quality level and address which ones need work the most.

{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Spiders articles by quality statistics}}

This is an ongoing task and your help would be appreciated. Have a read of some of the existing classifications so you know what this is about, and please do read the instructions before starting, as there are a few tweaks and other jobs we can do at the same time as classifying with minimal extra effort and good returns!

Article assessment

Welcome to WikiProject Spiders' article assessment. The bot providing the classification information runs once a day at about 6:00 UTC, so most of the time the data presented here have a lag of one day.

How to assess

Locate an unassessed spider related articles which are within the scope of the project. Those we know about reside in :Category:Unassessed Spiders articles.
Assess the article using the class and importance scheme below.
Once assessed, the {{tl|WPSpiders}} template needs to be included (not subst'd) on the Talk page with the correct parameters. (Most articles will have it already, but may not have the correct parameters).
You can edit the /comments subpage to add comments about why you rated the article the way you did. Please sign and date your comment with ~~~~ as usual.
Apply small fixes on the spot (or big fixes if you have the time and inclination).
While you are there, check that the article is in at least one (and usually only one) spider category.
If the article is graded better than a stub but it has a stub template, remove the stub template(s) from the article.
If the article in serious need of some 'tender loving care', add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spiders#Adopt_an_article
You can add stubs to the "articles to expand" section of the To Do list, add cleanup candidates to that list too.
If the article needs an image, include {{para|needs-image|yes}} in the {{tl|WPSpiders}} template; this will add the article to :Category:Wikipedia requested images of spiders.
If an article might be in need of either merging or splitting, please note the article first and, for merge proposals, any articles you would suggest merging the article into. update this

=Examples=

For example, use

{{WikiProject Spiders|class=B|importance=Mid}}, or the shorter {{WPSpiders|B|Mid}}, if you think it's a mid importance B class article
{{WikiProject Spiders|class=Stub|importance=Low}}, or the shorter {{WPSpiders|Stub|Low}}, if you think it's a low importance Stub class article
{{WikiProject Spiders|class=Redirect}}, or the shorter {{WPSpiders|Redirect}}, if it's a redirect to a spider article; note that {{para|importance}} is not used in this case
