This page is one of Battlestar Wiki's many projects.
This page serves to coordinate discussion on a particular aspect of this Wiki. The formal recommendations of a project may be treated as policies.


Criteria for a Quality Article

This is a proposed policy for Battlestar Wiki.
This non-policy is considered by the community and its leadership is to be considered for the status quo of Battlestar Wiki, though changes to it can be discussed on the appropriate talk page.

A quality article should have the following attributes:

The following do not qualify as Quality Article candidates:

  • stubs,
  • talk pages,
  • anything in the Battlestar Wiki, Quotes, Sources, or User namespace, and
  • past, Current, or Future Featured articles that have been marked.

Identifying a Potential Quality Article

Quality Articles should be identified as such, so that a master list can be created. If you think an article should be a featured article on the front page, submit it first as {{quality article}}.

Essentially, this would be done in the following way:

  1. A contributor tags an article page with {{quality candidate}}, then adds a note to the corresponding article's talk page explaining their reasoning.
  2. Involved members of the community will then discuss the candidate article. Typically, they should be as critical as possible.
  3. If the consensus is that the article is of potential quality, then the discussion will evolve into modifying the article in such a way as to polish the article so as to achieve full "Quality Article" status.
  4. Once this is done, the article will be tagged {{quality article}}.
