Quality scale
[edit]The quality scale is the WikiProject computing scale.
The B-Class criteria are: (1) referenced; (2) coverage; (3) structure; (4) grammar; (5) supporting materials; (6) accessible language.
Importance scale
[edit]| Importance | Criteria | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Core articles which are a "must have" for the Computer and Information Security Task Force. High-traffic articles which many people outside of computer security will already have a good knowledge of. |
Computer security, Computer insecurity, Firewall, Malware |
| High | Most people interested in computer security will be familiar with the topic, and the article gives context to a number of other information security articles. Is mentioned by many books and academic papers, and discussed in detail in more than one. | Port scanner, Bruce Schneier |
| Mid | Known to many people interested in computer security, even if not in detail. | Chaos Computer Club, Snort (software), Morris worm |
| Low | More specific and specialized content known only to some people interested in computer security. Most individuals, standards and software projects will be low importance unless they are well known or have high adoption. |
