<div style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-bottom: 0.5em; ">{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Figure skating articles by quality statistics}}</div>

The purpose of this page is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's figure skating articles. The list could be used to select candidates for [[Wikipedia:Pushing to 1.0|Wikipedia 1.0]], or perhaps even to create a CVG [[Wikipedia:WikiReader|WikiReader]]. It should also allow to identify areas that need work. 

The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{tl|WikiProject Figure Skating}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Figure skating articles by quality]] and [[:Category:Figure skating articles by importance]], which serves as the foundation for an automatically generated worklist: '''{{WP1|Figure skating}}'''

== Instructions ==

An article's assessment is generated from the ''class'' parameter in the {{tl|WikiProject Figure Skating}} project banner, which gets placed at the top of the article's talk page:

<div style="float:left;"><syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{WikiProject Figure Skating |class= |importance= }}</syntaxhighlight></div>
{{clear}}

The following values may be used for the '''class-parameter''':
{{plainlist|indent=0.5|
* {{icon|FA}} '''FA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:FA-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|FL}} '''FL''' (adds lists to [[:Category:FL-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|A}} '''A''' (adds articles to [[:Category:A-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|GA}} '''GA''' (adds articles to [[:Category:GA-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|B}} '''B''' (adds articles to [[:Category:B-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|C}} '''C''' (adds articles to [[:Category:C-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|Start}} '''Start''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Start-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|Stub}} '''Stub''' (adds articles to [[:Category:Stub-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|List}} '''List''' (adds lists to [[:Category:List-Class Figure skating articles]])
* {{icon|NA}} '''NA''' (adds pages outside the article mainspace to [[:Category:NA-Class Figure skating articles]])
}}

The class should be assigned according to the [[#Quality scale|quality scale]] below. Do '''{{red|NOT}}''' assign FA/FL, A or GA class to articles without a preceding review and successful promotion! Articles without a valid class are listed in [[:Category:Unassessed Figure skating articles]].

The following values may be used for the '''importance-parameter''':
* '''Top''' (adds articles or lists to [[:Category:Top-importance Figure skating articles]])
* '''High''' (adds articles or lists to [[:Category:High-importance Figure skating articles]])
* '''Mid''' (adds articles or lists to [[:Category:Mid-importance Figure skating articles]])
* '''Low''' (adds articles or lists to [[:Category:Low-importance Figure skating articles]])

==Figure skating-specific criteria==
{{shortcut|WP:FS CRIT}}
===Review criteria===
The following figure skating-specific review criteria '''{{red|MUST}}''' be satisfied by articles of featured class or A-class. However, they are recommended to be followed in articles of all assessment classes:
<div style="background-color:#f9f9f9; border:#999 2px solid; padding:0.5em 1em 0.5em 0; margin-top:0.5em;">
* '''(FS1) Terminology''': The article follows the [[WP:FS TERM|WikiProject Figure Skating terminology guide]], which is based on the official terms used by the [[International Skating Union]], [[U.S. Figure Skating]], and [[Skate Canada]], and represents the consensus view of editors interested in maintaining Wikipedia's articles about figure skating.{{br}}This criterion '''{{red|MUST}}''' be monitored in articles of any assessment class about judging systems, competition segments, technical elements and moves.
* '''(FS2) Accessibility''': As per [[WP:TECHNICAL]] and [[MOS:JARGON]], the article is accessible to casual readers, who may have little knowledge about the sport like those who only watch figure skating every four years at the [[Figure skating at the Olympic Games|Winter Olympics]], without compromising the correct use of figure skating terminology and the overall accuracy of the article (see FS1).
* '''(FS3) Structure''': The article follows the [[MOS:FS|WikiProject Figure Skating style guide]] for article structure and section headings, especially the recommendations for [[MOS:FS#Skater biographies|figure skater biographies]], [[MOS:FS#Figure skating competitions|competitions]], [[MOS:FS#Figure skating elements and moves|elements and moves]], and [[MOS:FS#Ice shows|ice shows]].
* '''(FS4) Tables and templates''': The article correctly uses figure skating-specific [[MOS:FS#Tables and templates|tables and templates]], created and developed by members of WikiProject Figure Skating.
* '''(FS5) Referencing''': The article uses figure skating-specific sources in a reasonable manner, following the recommendations of this [[MOS:FS#Referencing|source repository]].</div>

===Priority criteria===
* '''Skater biographies''': Level 4 vital biographies should be rated "top" and level 5 vital biographies "high" importance. Biographies of medalists at [[Grand Slam (figure skating)#Super Slam|Super Slam]] events (Olympic Games, ISU Championships, and the Grand Prix Final) should be rated "mid" and all other biographies "low" importance, unless additional notibility criteria apply.
* '''Super Slam events''': General articles about Super Slam events should be rated "top" (like [[World Figure Skating Championships]]) and specific editions "high" if recent or notable (like [[2024 World Figure Skating Championships]]) or "mid" importance.
* '''Other competitions''': General articles should be rated "high" (like [[NHK Trophy]]) and specific editions "mid" if recent or notable (like [[2024 NHK Trophy]]) or "low" importance.
* '''Figure skating elements''': Articles about basic element types (like [[figure skating lifts]]) should be rated "top", specific elements (like [[Axel jump]] or [[sit spin]]) "high", and element variations or skating moves "mid" importance (like [[Ina Bauer (element)|Ina Bauer]] or [[counter turn]]).
* '''Ice shows''': Articles about ongoing touring ice shows should be rated "mid" (like [[Stars on Ice]]) and other shows "low" importance, unless additional notability criteria apply.

===Quality criteria===
* Articles about '''judging systems''' that have not been monitored regarding correct use of figure skating terminology <u>must not</u> be rated higher than {{nowrap|{{icon|start}} start class}}.
* Articles about '''figure skating elements''' or '''competition segments''' that have not been monitored regarding correct use of figure skating terminology <u>must not</u> be rated higher than {{nowrap|{{icon|C}} C-class}}.
* Articles about '''figure skating competitions''' that only consist of a lead section and statistics tables <u>must not</u> be rated higher than {{nowrap|{{icon|start}} start class}}. For C-class, a prose summary of each competition segment is mandatory.
* Articles about '''ice shows''' that only consist of a lead and participants list <u>must not</u> be rated higher than {{nowrap|{{icon|start}} start class}}. For C-class, a prose summary of the show's history (recurring events) or synopsis (one-off events) is mandatory.

==Assessment scales==
{{shortcut|WP:FS ASSESS}}
===Priority scale===
{{Importance legend}}

===Quality scale===
'''Quality''' is graded based on the [[WP:ASSESS|Version 1.0 Assessment Scale]]. The following table summarizes the criteria used to assess articles at each level of the quality assessment scale. In addition to the criteria, the tables list the assessment process used at each level, describe the reader's experience at each level, and provide editing suggestions and an example of an article assessed at that level.

|-
!{{A-Class|category=Category:A-Class Figure skating articles}}
|The article meets '''all''' [[Wikipedia:Content assessment/A-Class criteria|general A-class criteria]] and [[#Figure skating-specific review criteria|figure skating-specific criteria]]. It is well organized and essentially complete, having been examined by at least three impartial reviewers, following [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Figure Skating/Assessment/A-Class review#Reviewer requirements|these reviewer requirements]]. Good article status is not a requirement for A-class.
|Very useful to readers. A fairly complete treatment of the subject. A non-expert in the subject would typically find nothing wanting.
|Expert knowledge may be needed to tweak the article, and style problems may need solving. [[WP:Peer review]] may help.

|-
!{{nowrap|{{GA-Class|category=Category:GA-Class Figure skating articles}}}}
|The article meets '''all''' [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|good article criteria]], and has been examined by one or more impartial reviewers from [[WP:Good article nominations]].
|Useful to nearly all readers, with no obvious problems; approaching (though not necessarily equalling) the quality of a professional publication.
|Some editing by subject and style experts is helpful; comparison with an existing [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]] on a similar topic may highlight areas where content is weak or missing.

|-
!{{B-Class|category=Category:B-Class Figure skating articles}}
|The article meets '''all''' of the [[Wikipedia:Content assessment/B-Class criteria|B-class criteria]]. It is mostly complete and does not have major problems, but requires some further work to reach [[Wikipedia:Good article criteria|good article standards]].
|Readers are not left wanting, although the content may not be complete enough to satisfy a serious student or researcher.
|A few aspects of content and style need to be addressed. Expert knowledge may be needed. The inclusion of supporting materials should be considered if practical, and the article checked for general compliance with the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and related [[:Category:Wikipedia style guidelines|style guidelines]].

|-
!{{C-Class|category=Category:C-Class Figure skating articles}}
|The article is substantial but is still missing important content or contains irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial [[Wikipedia:Cleanup|cleanup]].
|Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study.
|Considerable editing is needed to close gaps in content and solve cleanup problems.

|-
!{{Start-Class|category=Category:Start-Class military history articles}}
|The article is developing but still quite incomplete. It may or may not cite adequate reliable sources.
|Provides some meaningful content, but most readers will need more.
|Providing references to [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable sources]] should come first; the article also needs substantial improvement in content and organisation. Also improve the grammar, spelling, writing style and improve the jargon use.
|[[2013–14 figure skating season]] (as of [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3A2013%E2%80%9314_figure_skating_season&diff=1196909538&oldid=1196656255 January 18, 2024])
|-
!{{Stub-Class|category=Category:Stub-Class military history articles}}
|The article meets none of the start class criteria.
|Provides very little meaningful content; may be little more than a dictionary definition. Readers probably see insufficiently developed features of the topic and may not see how the features of the topic are significant.
|Any editing or additional material can be helpful. The provision of meaningful content should be a priority. The best solution for a stub class article to step up to a start class article is to add in referenced reasons of why the topic is significant.
