Article Rating

Manual Rating

If you aren't logged in or don't have an account, the rating process is slightly more involved - you have to fill in a template on the article's talk page. Simply copy the code below into the talk page, fill in the sections as indicated, and save the page.
{{Rating 
|rater=<-your wiki username (or IP address for anonymous raters with no account)-> 
|rating=<-choose one of: favor, like, neutral, dislike, or oppose-> 
|reason=<-the reason the article deserves the rating you are giving it->
}}

Additional information regarding the use of use the rating template, including examples, can be found on the Rating Template page.

Blocking a Rating

You may not modify anyone else's rating or reason for rating, but you may block a rating from being included in the ratings total under very specific circumstances as explained below. In each case you are required to notify them of the change on their talk page, as you are in effect erasing their input on the article and diluting the value of their name. We frown on this here as we do everywhere else. You may notify a user by leaving them a message or using the {{BlockNotice|<-article name (with identifier)->}} template on their talk page.

  • Outdated Ratings: Sometimes an article will go through a substantial revision, often as a result of ratings criticism, and the old criticisms will no longer apply to it. In these cases, it's not fair for an outdated rating to bring down the related page since it no longer applies, particularly if the author of the rating has had substantial time to update their opinion. These ratings can be marked by the relevant article's author or co-authors (and only that author or co-authors) as outdated with the addition of the "|block=NewVersion" parameter in the template. This will add a notice to the article and cause it to not be added to the ratings on the article page.
    The rater may remove this parameter after updating their rating reasons to reflect the current state of the article.
  • Insufficient Explanation: Sometimes a rating will object to an article, but not give a reason why they did so. These sorts of ratings make it impossible for an author to improve the article or address the criticism. If the author requests additional information about the rating on the rater's talk page and does not receive it within 3 days, they may block the rating with the addition of the "|block=InsufficientExplanation" parameter in the template. This will add a notice to the article and cause it to not be added to the ratings on the article page.
    The rater may remove this parameter after updating their rating reasons to better explain their position.

Community Favorites

An article that has at least 4 ratings that average at least 3.5 is eligible to be shown on the main page as a community favorite. These articles are shown in a random rotation, with one appearing each time anyone loads the main page, and are a great way for a great piece of work to get the attention of more casual users of the wiki. An article must meet this criteria for a full week before it is added to the rotation.

Favorite Blurb

The article must have a paragraph or two summary written up about it, in the same way that published works have a product blurb on their back cover. This may be written by anyone once the article has reached community favorite status, though the author of the article retains final say over the form of their blurb.

The favorite blurb can be created by replacing the "Favorite Article (Identifier)" text in the field below with the article name, like "Amazing Writing (3.5e Feat)", and clicking the button. This will take you to a new page with fields that can be edited for the favored article. If there already is a favorite blurb for the article, you will instead be taken to it for editing.

Adding an article to this rotation is not an automatic process, and requires an administrator to complete the process manually. Once the summary has been written and formatted, the author (or one of the co-authors) of the summary will need to ask a user with administrative access to add the summary to the main page rotation. Once added, the summary will be locked so it can only be edited or updated by a user with administrative access. The authors should be sure that they are happy with the summary before it is moved.

If the admin user is unresponsive, the author(s) should feel free to ask another admin user to complete the process. No more than one administrative user should be asked at any given time, however. There's no reason to spam these requests, and doing so may cause all of the admins to ignore the request.

Community Opposed

Community Opposed is a status reserved for articles that are considered so poor by so many users that we don't want to show them in the main navigation. An article with 4 or more ratings and an average of 0.5 or less qualifies for this status. If an article has this status for one week, it may be moved to a sandbox of the author's user page without further notice. Any user may complete this move, but whoever does so should add a link to the article to the author's user page.

Once an article is sandboxed in this fashion, it may not be moved back into the main navigation until such time as it has undergone changes and revisions that invalidate enough ratings to remove this status. Any ratings invalidated in this fashion should be marked as outdated by adding the "|OldRating=NewVersion" parameter to the rating template. The raters should also be notified of these changes, so that they can update their ratings and remove the tag. If an article becomes opposed again, it will be removed again after another week.

Your rating of Saiyans (3.5e Race)‎ has been blocked and is no longer being counted among the article ratings. Please see the rating on the talk page to determine the block reason. Once you have addressed the cause of the block, generally by updating the rating in some fashion, please delete the "|block=<-reason->" line so that your rating will be counted again. You may also remove the block parameter if you feel it was not applied in accordance with our guidelines. Assistance editing your rating may be found here. Feel free to delete this notice at any time.
Your rating of Saiyan Warrior (3.5e Class) has been blocked and is no longer being counted among the article ratings. Please see the rating on the talk page to determine the block reason. Once you have addressed the cause of the block, generally by updating the rating in some fashion, please delete the "|block=<-reason->" line so that your rating will be counted again.
