Hoax-related deletion request

I have a pending hoax-related deletion request over at Misplaced Pages talk:List of hoaxes on Misplaced Pages if anybody is interested in hearing me out. 100.7.44.80 (talk) 19:30, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments by Misplaced Pages editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Misplaced Pages: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.

Just a note that this WikiProject uses standard quality assessments, so it should be no action required and an "opt-in". — Bilorv (talk) 06:28, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Complete lead change requested in an RfC at Misplaced Pages

A total rewrite of the lead to replace the present lead is being discussed at the talk page of the Misplaced Pages page, which may interest readers of this project. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:51, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

The editor who insists on boldly redoing the lead is still reverting to his version. One main problem of the first sentence being a run-on has been solved. The RfC does not have the input I'd think such vast changes at the flagship article on Misplaced Pages deserves. The lead seems fine as is, with some tweaks, but the entire rewrite replacing it doesn't seem, in my opionion, to improve the page and its long-term language.
