One of the main tasks of the WikiProject Africa is to assess the quality of Wikipedia's Africa articles. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognising excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.
The assessment is done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{WikiProject Africa}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of Category:Africa articles by quality and Category:Africa articles by importance, which serve as the foundation for WP:1.0 bot updates which produce a statistics page, and a log of articles asessed.
