The '''assessment department''' of the Death WikiProject focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's death-related articles.
The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{tl|WikiProject Death}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Death articles by quality]], which serve as the foundation for an [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Death articles by quality|automatically generated worklist]].

; 1. What is the purpose of the article ratings? : The rating system allows the project to monitor the quality of articles in our subject areas, and to prioritize work on these articles. It is also utilized by the [[WP:1.0|Wikipedia 1.0 program]] to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content. Please note, however, that these ratings are primarily intended for the internal use of the project, and do not necessarily imply any official standing within Wikipedia as a whole.
; 2. How do I add an article to the WikiProject? : Just add {{tl|WikiProject Death}} to the talk page; there's no need to do anything else.
; 3. Someone put a {{tl|WikiProject Death}} template on an article, but it doesn't seem to be within the project's scope. What should I do? : Because of the large number of articles we deal with, we occasionally make mistakes and add tags to articles that shouldn't have them. If you notice one, feel free to remove the tag, and optionally leave a note on the project talk page
; 4. Who can assess articles? : Any member of the Death WikiProject is free to add—or change—the rating of an article. Editors who are not participants in this project are also welcome to assess articles, but should defer to consensus within the project in case of procedural disputes.
; 5. How do I rate an article? : Check the [[#Quality scale|quality scale]] and select the level that best matches the state of the article; then, follow the [[#Assessment instructions|instructions]] below to add the rating to the project banner on the article's talk page. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the [[#Quality scale|assessment scale]].
;
;
▲; 7. 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 particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the article; they will usually be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
;
▲; 9. What if I don't agree with a rating? : You can list it in the [[#Requests for assessment|section for assessment requests]] below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the article again. Please note that some of the available levels have an associated formal review process; this is documented in the [[#Quality scale|assessment scale]].
▲; 10. Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are somewhat subjective, 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!
== Assessment instructions ==
An article's assessment is generated from the ''class'' parameter in the {{tl|WikiProject Death}} project banner on its talk page (see the [[Template:WikiProject Death/doc|project banner instructions]] for more details on the exact syntax):
; <nowiki>{{WikiProject Death
The following values may be used:
Line 33 ⟶ 30:
* '''GA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:GA-Class Death articles]])
* '''B''' (adds articles to [[:Category:B-Class Death articles]])
* '''C''' (adds articles to [[:Category:C-Class Death articles]])
* '''Start''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Start-Class Death articles]])
* '''Stub''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Stub-Class Death articles]])
* '''
* '''List''' (adds articles to [[:Category:List-Class Death articles]])
* '''Dab''' (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to [[:Category:Disambig-Class Death articles]])
Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in [[:Category:Unassessed Death articles]]. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale below.
