Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banner at {{WikiProject Computer security}}. To tag an article, insert the following to the top of the discussion page of the article: {{WikiProject Computer security|importance=|computing-importance=}}

Articles already in WikiProject Computing can be added to WikiProject Computer Security project by adding security=yes and security-importance= parameters to the Computing banner template. For example: {{WikiProject Computing|importance=|security=yes|security-importance=}}

To make tagging and assessment easy, install the Rater userscript.

Anyone can assess articles (regardless of membership to the WikiProject) by adding or editing the class and importance parameters to the {{WikiProject Computer security}} template on the talk page of a tagged article. Assessments can be specifically requested (or the process discussed) on the WikiProject talk page.

The B-Class criteria are: (1) referenced; (2) coverage; (3) structure; (4) grammar; (5) supporting materials; (6) accessible language.

Featured articles are what Wikipedia editors believe are the best articles in Wikipedia, and the status which all articles should eventually achieve. Before being listed here, articles are reviewed at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style according to our featured article criteria.
