User:Ww2censor/Assessment monoscript

For a long time I was using the User:Outriggr/metadatatest.js script in my monobook to semi-automate WikiProject assessments. However, Outriggr stopped updating the script and eventually the script was deleted. Fortunately, in February 2009, BrownHairedGirl copied the script to User:BrownHairedGirl/metadatatest.js and as of February 2014, the script continues to works without any apparent problems.

As of 2019 Rater is probably the easiest and most reliable assessment tool available.

Setup

• Make sure your monobook page has already been setup, if not this special link "your monobook.js" points you to your page.
• Add the following script code to the page:

 // User:BrownHairedGirl/metadata.js - displays WikiProject assessments <nowiki>
 importScript('User:BrownHairedGirl/metadatatest.js'); 
 assessmentMyTemplateCode = ["{{Motorcycling |class= |importance= |image-needed=no |needs-infobox=no |listas= }}", ];
 assessmentDefaultProject = "Motorcycling";
 assessmentMarkAsMinor = true;
 // </nowiki>

• Save your monobook page and restart your browser
• If you ever changed the "Appearance" tab in your preferences please select "Monobook" as your "Skin".
• In the "Gadgets" tab of your preferences, turn on the "Display an assessment of an article's quality as part of the page header for each article." in the "User interface gadgets" subsection. This will display the current article page assessment at the top left of an article page just under the title.
• If your installation is done properly, a new drop down assessment button will appear under the title.

Additional functions

• Should you wish to add the code for other project's assessment banners, you can add the code in part or full, by adding the code to the assessmentMyTemplateCode line and adding the extra code inside the brackets [ ] with a comma and a space separating each project's code.
• You if have additional project code, you can set the default project, by changing the value in the assessmentDefaultProject line.
• If you like to mark your edits as minor, make sure the value of the assessmentMarkAsMinor line is set to "true", otherwise set it to "false".
