Should the CS article be bumped up to Level 2 in vitality?

The computer science article is one of the most important, if not the most important article relating to computer science - since it literally is about computer science. I think it should be bumped up to atleast Level 2 for now since there is still some things we have to include into the article such as references. Vivaidris (talk) 19:58, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
