CHL issues

I've been slowly meandering through the lower-hanging/easier/more interesting fruit in the CHL, and we're starting to get into some of the less easy stuff.

• There are a whole bunch of CHL listings for rural military facilities that have basically nothing to do with the military facilities and are about protecting biodiversity. I'm not really sure what to do with these: they're irrelevant to articles on the actual facilities but the content could be interesting to someone.
• We've never discussed what to do with the broad geographical region listings in the national registers. Some of the really broad ones are probably best not used, remembering the West Kimberley mess in the NHL, but there's others like Murray Mallee - Calperum Station and Taylorville Station that seem potentially useful but overlap with our articles in a difficult way.
• The CHL has really quite a lot of lighthouses. These generally already have articles. Is it worth bothering with this content where they do, and if so, does anyone feel like volunteering?
• Indigenous sites/protected areas - thoughts on these? I'm a bit hesitant after the West Kimberley mess.

Any thoughts on any of the above would be appreciated. The Drover's Wife (talk) 12:10, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Project-independent quality assessments

Quality assessments are used by Wikipedia editors to rate the quality of 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 decides 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.
