== Proposal to add quality criteria to WikiProject templates ==
See [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 138#Add quality criteria to WikiProject templates]]. The proposal was to add a show/hide link to the right of the quality rating so editors could more easily see what the rating actually meant. A mock-up:
<table style="width:80%; padding:4px;border:1px solid #bbbbbb; background:#f8eaba; margin-left:10%; margin-right:10%">
<tr>
<td style="padding:0;">[[File:Redwood National Park, fog in the forest.jpg|frameless|none|left|60px]]</td>
<td style="padding-left:10px;">This page is supported by '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecoregions|WikiProject Ecoregions]]''', a collaborative effort to help develop and improve Wikipedia's coverage of [[ecoregion]]s. The aim is to write [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral]] and [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|well-referenced]] articles on these topics. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ecoregions|WikiProject Ecoregions]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Contributing]].</td>

Notes:
*The <code>[show]</code> link will apply only to projects that have accepted the standard assessment scheme defined in {{t|Grading scheme}}, and will be implemented in {{t|WPBannerMeta}}. Projects with non-standard quality scales or criteria will not be affected
*The <code>[show]</code> criteria will be in one place only, the {{t|WPBannerMeta}} template, not replicated in all the project templates.
*The standard quality scale criteria defined in {{t|Grading scheme}} are extremely stable (i.e. cast in stone), but to ensure the criteria in the {{t|WPBannerMeta}} template are in sync with those in {{t|Grading scheme}}, we will make them both share the same text files.
*Addition of the <code>[show]</code> criteria will cause an increase in page size for a talk page with just one project banner from about 30,000 characters to 30,500 characters on a desktop, and from about 21,000 to 21,500 characters on a mobile device. Since the main target is editors, and they will usually not use a mobile device to edit, we may suppress this feature on mobiles.
The response at the village pump was 4–2 in favor if the author gets a vote. Reasons against were that the template already provides a link to the quality scale, so this is pointless clutter, and it would increase message size. The reason for supporting is that editors would be more likely to click on the <code>[show]</code> link, so assessment quality would improve.
Given the many pages that would be affected and my lack of coding skills, I do not propose to make the change myself, but would hope for a volunteer. Are there serious technical difficulties or concerns? [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 15:25, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
:What about those with the extended scale? In my experience, those outnumber the ones with the standard scale. Also, what about those which have set up a custom scale, but the only actual customisation is to either disable one (often A-class), or to add one or two (such as Book-class or Redirect-class). --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 20:17, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
::I would be fine with supporting the extended scale as long as it does not add much complexity. If there are simple ways to support more customized scales and definitions, that would be good too. Maybe there is a way to pick up any available definitions, so <code>X class [show]<code> is supported if <code>X_detailed_criteria, X_readers_experience</code> and/or <code>X_editing_suggestions</code> have defined values in the project context. But I would prefer to keep it simple to start with. [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 00:28, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
