Article assessment and project identification

Computing Unassessed

	This article is within the scope of WikiProject Computing, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of computers, computing, and information technology on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.ComputingWikipedia:WikiProject ComputingTemplate:WikiProject ComputingComputing
???	This article has not yet received a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

For general computing articles, place {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=}} on article talk pages within the scope of this WikiProject.

The project has a number of task forces. Please use one of the following variants if applicable.

Hardware - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|hardware=yes|hardware-importance=}}
Networking - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|network=yes|network-importance=}}
Early computers - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|early-comp=yes|early-comp-importance=}}

There are a number of projects closely related to WikiProject Computing. Articles in these projects are automatically added as to WikiProject Computing. As an alternate to using the project identification templates associated with those projects, association with these projects can be indicated through optional parameters to {{WikiProject Computing}}.

Amiga - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|amiga=yes|amiga-importance=}}
Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|science=yes|science-importance=}}
Software - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|software=yes|software-importance=}}
Websites - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|websites=yes|websites-importance=}}
Computer security - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|security=yes|security-importance=}}
Java - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|java=yes|java-importance=}}
RISC OS - {{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|riscos=yes|riscos-importance=}}

This is especially useful when an article is a member of more than one of the associated Wikiprojects or task forces: a single {{WikiProject Computing}} instance with multiple optional parameters parameters can declare all project and task force affiliations.
