Star Color
I've been thinking of changing the color of the stars that's 4 and less to sky blue, along with 5-star staying yellow.

I'm not sure I like this, since the different colors don't provide additional details. We'd also then need to have multiple colors for other sets of ratings we assess with stars, and multiple sets of multicolored stars seems like it would be a big mess. We should probably hold off on this until we see if stars will be used for ratings elsewhere and I don't think I'd support it even then. It would highlight "perfect" titles in the long compatibility list though. Kolano (talk) 06:37, 2 December 2015 (CET)
- Indeed, it doesn't mean much besides that the 5-star will appear more distinctive from 4 and less stars. It must have good feel to have stars golden, but I don't want have this same feel for the lesser stars. I don't intend to have individual sets of stars colored.

I don't really like this either. This is the wrong direction for us. There is no such thing as perfect, as PCSX2 showed just how easily you can call ANYTHING perfect and get away with it. We should be reducing emphasis on this "perfection", not adding more. And I don't want to highlight perfect ratings in the compatibility list either, because they could very easily be tested and reveal new bugs, which is a bad experience for users. As I've said before, perfection right now on this wiki is "no currently known problems during testing". No testing or a non-critical eye in an uncommon game are all it takes for terrible bugs to be in a "perfect" game. And that's most of the wiki's 5 star games. We absolutely should NOT be emphasizing this subjective and buggy system, we should be paring it down to be more realistic! - MaJoR (talk) 07:08, 2 December 2015 (CET)
