Tagging and Assessment

Summary of assessments

Goals

Tagging

Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banner at {{WikiProject Computer security}}. To tag an article insert the following to the top of the discussion page of the article: 

{{WikiProject Computer security|class=|importance=|computing-importance=}}

Articles already in the computing wikiproject can be added to the computer security project by adding security=yes and security-importance= parameters to the computing banner template. For example: 

{{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|security=yes|security-importance=}}

Assessment

Anyone can assess articles (regardless of membership to the WikiProject) by adding or editing the class and importance parameters to the {{WikiProject Computer security}} template on the talk page of a tagged article. Assessments can be specifically requested (or the process discussed) on the Computer security/Assessment page.

Quality scale

See also: Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer security/Assessment

The B-Class criteria are: (1) referenced; (2) coverage; (3) structure; (4) grammar; (5) supporting materials; (6) accessible language.

Importance scale

Importance Criteria Examples
Top Core articles which are a “must have” for Wikiproject Computer Security.
High-traffic articles which many people outside of computer security will already have a good knowledge of. 		Computer security, Computer insecurity, Firewall, Malware
High Most people interested in computer security will be familiar with the topic, and the article gives context to a number of other information security articles. Is mentioned by many books and academic papers, and discussed in detail in more than one. Port scanner, Bruce Schneier
Mid Known to many people interested in computer security, even if not in detail. Chaos Computer Club, Snort (software), Morris worm
Low More specific and specialized content known only to some people interested in computer security.
Most individuals, standards and software projects will be low importance unless they are well known or have high adoption. 		CloudFlare, Datenschleuder

High-quality content

Shortcut

The featured articles are what Wikipedia editors believe are the best articles in Wikipedia, and the status which all articles should eventually achieve.
