Quality control in Heande is based on different levels of control for different pages, depending on the need. These are briefly described below.
- User control level
- This level applies to all new pages by default. A page will be on this level until there are specific needs to apply a more strict protection (see below).
- If users want to edit pages, they must register and give their real name either in the user name or in their own user page.
- Edits must be done according to the good practice of editing. However, this is not protected by technical means.
- Users may also use the contribution tool if they do not want to edit the page content directly.
- Moderators will check for new edits and remove material that is against policies or guidelines.
- For major edits, a discussion must be held at the respective Talk page before the edits are made.
- Page protection level
- This level applies to pages that are so a) large, b) complex, c) interconnected, or d) contradictory that it is (in the moderator's view) likely that the page will suffer damage from poor edits. The moderator should give motivation why she thinks that this particular page is under greater risk of damage than other pages.
- Edits by other users than the moderator of the page are technically prevented.
- Users contribute using the contribution tool. In this tool, contributions are handled as individual pieces of text that will be given a unique identifier and that cannot be edited afterwards (except that moderators will remove contributions that are against policies or guidelines).
- The moderator of a protected page will take all new substantive material from the contribution and locate it into a relevant place in the talk page into a formal or informal discussion. The conclusions of the discussions will be inserted into the main page.
- Peer review level
- This level is used with topics that have a high scientific or policy importance. The content is worth a laborious formal peer review. In this case, it is important that the page is not changed after the peer review without making it very clear to the reader what things have changed and why. The reader must be able to trust that the contents of the page fulfils strict scientific quality standards.
- The page goes through a formal peer review by experts of the field. Depending of the content the formal processes may be different. Some formal procedures for ensuring quality of a scientific article are listed below, and they may be used:
