Tagging and Assessment

[edit]

Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with {{WikiProject United States|class=|importance=|USTV=yes|USTV-importance=}} banner. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.

  • The template should be placed on the talk pages of relevant articles to put them under the project's radar. It looks like this:

This article is supported by American television task force.

The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Television}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:American television articles by quality. WP:1.0 also produces a statistics page, and a log of articles assessed.
