All articles on the wiki are required to have a score reflecting its quality in each category defined in the rubric on this page. If you edit a page or encounter a page that has been edited and decide that the page's scores need to be updated, be sure to update the score. The same holds for if you decide that a page has been improperly scored in any category.
