Project-independent quality assessments
Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class=
parameter to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.
No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.
However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom
parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present. Aymatth2 (talk) 13:57, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Interest in testing a tool for Breaking News? Seeking feedback
My team at the foundation, WME, has developed a dashboard that tries to identify new articles related to global "newsworthy" events as they are being written about across Wikipedia language editions at any given moment. You can read more about it here. I'm seeking help to improve the feature.
Here is the direct link to the dashboard. (desktop only).
I'd appreciate if anyone that tries it out can surface any potentially missing templates from across language projects that would help us capture more results. Using the thumbs up and down buttons in the demo to confirm or deny if entries are accurately identified as breaking news, would help me in the long and medium-term in building a better, more accurate tool.
Although Enterprises' focus is not on creating editing tools or gadgets, we hope this can be of use to the community, too.
Thanks! FNavas-WMF (talk)
