Anyone is free to participate in this workshop. However, because of the complex nature of the issues, and because of some acrimony in prior discussions elsewhere on these topics, it is suggested that editors who wish to comment familiarize themselves with some of the discussion history, and consider

is intended to evaluate the various
Knowledge (XXG) processes that assess and improve content. It seeks to clarify means and methods, reduce procedural overhead, and better attune processes outside of the mainspace with improvements in the mainspace. For now, editors are free to add general comments
253:
Please feel free to edit this list to improve it. Please make the problem statements positive, if possible, rather than negative: that is, please state the improvement you'd like to see, rather than making a criticism of an existing process. Where possible, please try to state the problem without

At one level, the goal of all the content review processes is to improve the quality of main-space articles. This is too broad a definition, though, since many other things go on that also have this goal. This section lists the goals that one or more of the specific processes listed above tries to
322:
The intention is for talk page discussions in this workshop to lead to ideas that can be taken to the talk pages of the relevant content review processes for further discussion and validation. On this talk page, a "Current topic" will be decided from time-to-time, in order to remain focused on
326:
After a topic is decided on, the workshop talk page will attempt to reach consensus on a proposal to address the topic. When sufficient consensus has been reached, a summary of the proposal will be placed on this page, under "Proposals". Further discussion on the talk page may refine it; and

template, or the individual content review process pages. The workshop will discuss whether further proposals or new topics might change the current proposal, making it better to wait; or whether on the other hand there is some reason to propose it immediately, such as a belief that it is
330:
Once the workshop feels all significant outstanding questions for the proposal have been resolved, the facilitator will ask the workshop to agree on whether it is time to take the proposal to the wider community via an appropriate announcement location such as the
379:
The facilitator has no special authority beyond the agreement of the editors in this workshop to allow the facilitator to help guide the workshop. The role can be eliminated or the person performing the role changed at any time by consensus on the talk page.
285:
Can statistics be improved for any of the processes, in order to help measure their success? No process keeps complete statistics on both articles reviewed and reviewer participation, but there is great variation among existing
249:
This is a list of problems and topics that are agreed to be of interest by the participants in this workshop, and which are candidates to be the
Current Topic worked on by this workshop. These are in no particular order.
352:
If further recruitment of editors with knowledge of specific processes is thought to be valuable, consider notifying individual editors who you feel would be good contributors to this process on their talk pages.
273:
Acrimonious arguments at individual processes and in discussions between regulars at the different talk processes drain time and energy; is there a way to eliminate or reduce these source of friction?
323:
particular process issues. The workshop aims to be both methodical and organic; that is, it intends to focus on processes one-by-one but also let discussion emerge naturally.
279:
Can we avoid or mitigate the weaknesses of multiple-reviewer systems in which some undocumented and unrecorded form of consensus has to be decided on by a single individual?
276:
Can we avoid or mitigate the weaknesses of single-reviewer systems in which one user may mistakenly pass an article that does not meet the relevant standards?
423:
282:
What can be done in all processes to reduce bureaucracy and instruction creep and make things easy for the content-writers wishing to use the processes?

Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the

Can we improve the mechanism for nominating articles for review, either for each process individually or across the project as a whole?

The following is a list of some of the content review processes that exist on
Knowledge (XXG). Please add others if they are absent.

418:
302:
Is the current set of labels—stub, start, B and A; and GA, FA—the right set of labels for assessing article quality or state?
406:
A prior topic on peer review is on hold until a bot can be written to produce example output for further discussion.

222:
167:
Assess the degree to which processes are focused on content improvement relative to non-mainspace overhead
308:
What can be done to encourage in-depth review of reliability of sources in the various review processes?
55:
38:
30:
267:
How can we encourage the connection of subject-matter experts with articles that need their expertise?
258:
How can reviewers be encouraged at all forums? Peer review in particular is perennially understaffed.

295:
What can be done to make it easier for editors to make articles comply with the somewhat technical

How can all the processes scale? Each has its own barriers to getting ten times more productive.

Not a review process per se, but often heavily involved in the FA and other review processes.

How do we recognize the value and quality of good, short articles that are unlikely to grow?
