Departments

Assessment

The assessment department focuses on assessing the quality of project-supported articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work, and are also expected to play a role in the WP:1.0 program. The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WPZOO}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in a set of categories that serves as the basis for an automatically generated worklist.

Collaboration

The Zoo collaboration department is a coordinated effort by WikiProject Zoo to improve Wikipedia's zoo-related content. All Wikipedians, regardless of their level of expertise on the subject, are welcome to contribute.
