Incorrect Ratings

More and more I'm noticing people incorrectly changing the ratings putting a number directly on the list instead of in the ratings pages just undid 2 of the them from the same person.

We need all users to understand not to change the ratings that way or a way to prevent it as its going to get annoying and harder to change. 122.104.103.221 20:16, 15 August 2010 (UTC)


I think this is generally due to folks being unaware of how to work with the ratings templates. Some suggestions:

  • Revise the ratings template to recognize the numbers an provide info on appropriate corrections.
  • Revise the rating template so ratings link to the appropriate ratings edit page. I'm guessing this would mean generating separate templates per system.

However, we'll likely still see this (and the similar issue of pages using the rating vs ratings template) even then. Unfortunately the best solution may be to just continue to monitor things. The searches below can help with such...

I guess theres no scripts or wiki bots that can monitor it automatically for us be good if there was.

I hope people read the ratings links I put on the main page its the best I could do and also It would be a good idea to update each list page so at the top is a big comment about editing ratings they need to scroll past something like.

Put (hash) as I cant put a real one here.
