The Credibility Framework is a suite of interconnected tools under development to support editors who wish to focus on a specific subset of Wikipedia.

Key components of the framework are: clean design, clear metrics, useful alerts, and automated bots.

The system is ideal for tracking source usage, shared tasks, and (in)appropriate citations or misinformation.

The framework comprises:

The vision

  • You fill out a form to start a new project
  • You define the parameters of that project, based on whatever criteria you want, without needing to create categories or tag articles
  • A list of relevant pages is created and automatically updated over time
  • Reports about the sources used on those articles are generated
  • Known outstanding article issues are listed within the project, with updates
  • A concern or task raised in one corner of Wikipedia is relayed to relevant, interested people and doesn’t just sit in its one corner
  • The bots are built on top of open APIs that can be used by other bots as well
