Welcome to the '''assessment department''' of the Neopaganism WikiProject!  This department focuses on assessing the quality of Wikipedia's Neopaganism related articles.  While much of the work is done in conjunction with the [[WP:1.0]] program, the article ratings are also used within the project itself to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{tl|WikiProject Neopaganism}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Neopaganism articles by quality]] and [[:Category:Neopaganism articles by importance]], which serves as the foundation for an [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Neopaganism articles by quality|automatically generated worklist]].

== Frequently asked questions ==

; How can I get my article rated? : Please list it in the [[#Requesting an assessment|section for assessment requests]] below.
; Who can assess articles? : Any member of the Neopaganism WikiProject is free to add or change the rating of an article.  
; 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.
; What if I don't agree with a rating? : You can list it in the [[#Requestsing an 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.
; Aren't the ratings subjective? : Yes, they are, 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!

If you have any other questions not listed here, please feel free to ask them on the discussion page for this department.

! Example
|-
! {{Top-importance}}
| The article is one of the core topics about Neopaganism.  
| A reader who is not involved in the field of Neopaganism will have high familiarity with the subject matter and should be able to relate to the topic easily.
| Articles in this importance range are written in mostly generic terms, leaving technical terms and descriptions for more specialized pages.
| [[Neopaganism]]
|-
! {{High-importance}}
| The article covers a topic that is vital to understanding Neopaganism.
|-
! {{Mid-importance}}
| The article covers a topic that has a strong but not vital role in the history of Neopaganism.
| Many readers will be familiar with the topic being discussed, but a larger majority of readers may have only cursory knowledge of the overall subject.
| Articles at this level will cover subjects that are well known but not necessarily vital to understand religion, such as specific aspects of Neopaganism.  Due to the topics covered at this level, Mid-importance articles will generally have more technical terms used in the article text.  Most people involved in Neopaganism will be rated in this level.
| 
|-
! {{Low-importance}}
| The article is not required knowledge for a broad understanding of Neopaganism.
| Few readers outside the Neopaganism field may be familiar with the subject matter.  It is likely that the reader does not know anything at all about the subject before reading the article.
| Articles at this range of importance will often delve into the minutiae of Neopaganism, using technical terms (and defining them) as needed.  Topics included at this level include most practices and infrastructure of Neopaganism.
