Speaking ASA.
Based on 11.6.A, a passed ball and wild pitch could be scored an error if it prolongs the batter's "at bat" or the life of a present runner.
The terms "passed ball" and "wild pitch" are only addressed in rule 11 as it pertains to the format of the scorer's game summary.
I am assuming there are additional definitions and scoring rulings at another location in ASA's statistical documentation.
