'Article class' annotated link

Trying to create version of the Template:Annotated link. (Help:Template).

  • Field 1: Article name
  • Field 2 (optional): Editor Name (shows both the article rating after the editor's first edit and the current article ranking.)
  • Field 3 (optional): Single article (default) or complete editing history
    • The second would list all the articles an editor has worked on along with the rating change since their first edit (similar idea to list of articles below)

{{#invoke:Assessed_link|main |1={{{1|}}} |2={{{2|}}} |3= |4=[[{{{1|}}}|{{#property:P473|{{{1|}}}}}]] }}

Editing

Focused on adding updates and filling-in gaps to articles.

Tend to start at the bottom of the articles and work up from there:

  • WP:External Links
    • Working to define the source of each link clearly and with a wikilink to that source's page
    • Moving into References or See Also
    • Removing unreliable or unhelpful links
  • WP:Further Reading
    • Using as a source in the article
    • Putting in reverse chronological order
    • Ensuring the listed works match the scope for the article well (not too narrow, broad or something that is a 'see also')
    • Removing those already listed as a source in the article
    • Attempting to trim these sections to 0-5 sources (Template:Too much further reading says most editors prefer to cap sections at a half dozen)
    • Assessing notability using citation counts (e.g. 2 cites per year published), book reviews, and other methods (open to suggestions)
  • WP:See also
    • Removing when wikilink already used
    • Using in the article
    • Moving to the relevant section
    • Alphabetizing
  • WP:References
    • Flagging unreliable references - still a bit confused about the role of primary sources - holding off on these edits until I get more confirmation
  • WP:No original research
